About to turn sailfin to sushi

Thanks a lot. I'll give a try.

No trouble, every time I add a new fish to my tank I have to put the mirror up and even then my Achilles still gets frisky.

It aggression will usually dissipate in a week or so.

I have a desjardine sailfin in my 125 along with a powder blue and a yellow tang. I no a lot of people will say I'm crazy but I have a custom 8 foot tank in the works( it will be 26 wide and 30 tall). Anyway... My sailfin is probably the nicest fish in there, it's the yellow that has the aggression but only towards the the powder blue. I put a mirror on the side of the tank for almost a week and that seemed to do the trick. Once in a while he will go to the powder blue and fluff up but it's only for a few seconds. They all seem to be happy and swimming where ever they want with no stress.

I cant help but sense some sarcasm there.
Am I wrong?
If I am. Thanks.

no sarcasm at all. I was serious. Some people get very offended if they read something they don't like. I really like your attitude about it. Just read the comments and take them for what they are. No need to get offended

Thanks. It's difficult to interpret tone over the internet. Happy to hear you were sincere, and again, thanks a lot.

If it's worth noting, today is day 3 of the butterfly in the dt and the sailfin hasnt bothered him at all so far this morning since the lights came on.
Everybody swimming and eating happily, as before.

I've had a 6" Sailfin tang in a 125 gallon with a 6" hippo, 6" Yellow, and a 8" Naso with no aggression. It completely depends on the fish and how they are added. Any new additions they are aggressive, when this happens, I add a mirror for 3 days and the aggression dissipates permanently until another fish is added.

Thanks.
Today is day 3 and everyone seems to be happy in the tank.
Sailfin is a lot less aggressive and is swimming normally and not dashing after the butterfly.
He did do the same thing g when I added my last few fish, but they weren't as delicate as the butterfly so it got me a little worked up.

I was going to try the mirror thing, but seems I might not have to.

Thanks again.
