You may have a few initial territory issues but in the long run I think it'll be fine. Esp in a 150g tank. Is that a 6ft tank or 5ft?
New build 150g

I was thinking of putting a divider in the main tank when I add the PB then they can see each other close up but not actually stress each other out. Not sure how to do a divider yet tho lol.

Dividers are a pain in the ***, I used to have one in my old freshwater tank for a short time. Lol you're better off just putting them together and letting em battle it out if they even do that. Like I said, mine stopped fighting after the first night, now they're fine.

I know you just did, but if you re arrange the rock, it helps when adding tangs. They will still chase around for a bit but it will help. Also feed before and have plenty of algae to cruise by and nibble

Yea I was thinking of feeding little but often if they fight. Fish will always choose food before a fight lol. I have the rock where I want it now so don't want to move it around anymore.

Yea lovely fish but my friend has one and were trying to avoid having the same fish lol. We spend a lot of time at each others houses and its nice to see different fish when we go round and for him and his partner when they come round to us. It might sound odd but hey lol.

Sorry Dan lol it may be different in the flesh but I have never seen one. Going by the images on google I don't think it's anywhere near as nice as the more popular one. It looks like its brown and patchy lol
