Is it safe to put 2 Pseudochromis in a 150 gallon tank?

Hey guys whats up,

Just wanted to know if I should introduce my new purple stripe pseudochromis to my DT?

It has been in my Redsea Max (QT) for a month now and its eating very well and looks beautiful.

I already have one Pseudochromis in my DT (Bicolor) so I dont know how these species get along...

Any suggestions?

About four months.

just a trick i learned that worked for me....put the new one in a quart sized glass jar and float it in the DT Tank...if the other one shows any agression towards the new one for a length of time, then i would say no good....those fish are very tough, and scrappy little guys...
I have kept 2 in the same tank before (75g), but they were both bi-color pseudos...where i believe you a have a bi-color, and a diadema....JMO

i would suspect 4 months would be long enough for the resident pseudo to defend his home, now depending on how much rock you have, maybe move alot of it around a bit to make new territories, then maybe they would get along, but then again, that is a big maybe
