Added a Kole Tang...HELP!!

I'll start from the beginning......about 4 weeks ago,I added a mimic tang to my 125 with the only inhabitant being a tominni tang.When I addaed the mimic,my tominni picked on him for a day or so and then he calmed down and now the 2 get along perfectly.So last Sun. I decided I would add a Kole to the mix thinking after a day or so they woulkd stop picking on him and they would live peacefully...well I was wrong.The Tominni and the mimic will not leave him be.I went as far as changing the rock work around and even taping pictures of other tangs to the outside of the glass,but neither has helped.Any other suggestions?
Thanx all
 
when the tangs are at opposite ends of the tank divide them with lighting difuser from home depot-5 bucks problem solved. give them time, eventually theyll calm down. if they wont split up then put a mirror at the opposite end. the hatred for their own personal species is far greater than the hatred for just another tang.
 
try turning the lights out for a couple of days. Feed often...keep a nori clip available...

There may not be enough room for three tangs in the 125...even though they don't get too big.

Are the other two bigger than the kole?
 
I put a smaller achilles in a tank with an established powder blue. The achilles was near death after a day or two of being chased. I stuck mirrors to the glass with masking tape for about a month. I took the mirror down about 2 months ago (I think), and things are going well.

You can get a 4' mirror from HD for about $8. Try it! I also tried pics of powder blues and achilles, they ignored them. The mirrors were magnets!!
 
Amazon...he is a bit smaller and I was a little leary of adding him,but I took the chance anyway,everyone else,,,,,,thanx for the advise,I'm gonna try the mirror idead!
