Hippo Tang + Tomini Tang. . . . . +Yellow Tang?

125, 2 islands seperated by 1' and 1/2 of open water. Adding a small yellow tang to the large hippo and small tomini. Would there be much aggression? I just broke apart my tank to fix a mistake I made. To catch the Sohal I put in there and give it back. He was just way to aggressive for my peaceful tank. Would the yellow tang cause concern?

A little chasing here and there is fine. Some of my fish do that. But most of the day they just peacefully swim along and around eachother. And that is the feel of the tank I want to keep.

A bit much IMO. I think that when the yellow got bigger he might be a touch too bossy for his tank mates.

And if you have a >5" Tomini it's about full grown. They don't get much bigger than 5-6".

Thanks for your opinion. I'm still in "consider" mode.
