Powder Blue and Sohol compatibility?

rhwimmers · 07/06/2012, 10:42 PM

Anyone happen to have these two together, just wondering if they work together?
I have a pair of clowns, pair of banggai, 6line and sohol thats about 1.5" in my 125 and have wanted a powder blue since I got into the hobby! Probably would only get a small one so its similar in size to the sohol.
TIA

I wouldn't even try that in a tank 5 times that size. The Sohal alone reaches a size of 18" in the wild, and if you've ver seen a mature Sohal in a tank you'd realize why everything with fins can and may be at risk...especially if it has a similar body shape.

maybe trade the sohal and keep the pbt. the pbt works out better for a smaller size tank.

You would probably be ok for awhile... until the fish mature. Once those two reach a certain age/size you will have problems... and some dead fish. I have a 7" PBT that is a real pain in the you know what. There is no way that I would ever consider adding a sohal to my tank and its 600 gallons.

A tank that size with those two fish would turn into the thunder dome in no time.
