Cool tank buddies

[puffster]

I recently have gotten a naso tang for my 150. He is only about 3-31/2" long right now. After acclimating him and all that he went for a swim in his new home. Well as usual, my yellow tang took a dis-likeing to him as he does with anyone that I foster into the family. And as he was terrorizing him, my Cream angel would swoop over and break it up. He would let the yellow get in a few licks and then he would break it up again just like a ref. in a boxing mach.
Well this went on for a while. Then everybody was tired of the yellow's antics. At one point three of my fish, the long fin banner, sailfin and the cream were lined along the back of the tank angled toward my yellow who was cowering behind the live rock. They were all looking at him dairing him to make a move. I also even caught my little flame heading off the yellow at one point. The yellow has now cooled down and has accepted him.
I just think it is cool that fish look out for one another. Not one is related nor came from the same part of the ocean or farm. But yet they can form a heiarchy (spell?) among the chaos and become friends in a matter of hours. Different spieces of all shapes and colors and they all get along. We can learn alot from our pals of the ocean. See you at the meting.

thats pretty cool. i have a clown that i bought when first set up my tank and just few months ago bought two babies from chuggy and my big clown instantly was protecting them from my other fish and will not leave there side. to this day still is protecting them from the damsels i have. even though mine are from the same type of family its still cool to watch the personalities of some fish and how they react and learn. its pretty amazing. you will have to post some pics of your naso if you can

I had a long fin banner that was nothing but a butthead. They are supposed to be docile and elegant. Got rid of him. Fish may not feel pain but they do have distint personalities. The one I have now is laid back and easy going.
