Fighting Tangs!

Maybe I got lucky b/c I have a sail-fin and a yellow that get along just fine in a 70g.

It can also help to put fish in at the same time when it comes to tangs.

I have a yellow, hippo, powder brown, and tomini in my 180. The powder brown beat the crap out of the tomin for about 15 minutes straight but now they are the best of friends. When I put the powder brown in, the yellow opened up a can on him for about 10 minutes, as well. My rule is if the fish can't hide and be left alone after an hour, then it's not gonna work. I only had to remove one fish from my tank using that rule so far. It was a yellow getting whooped by a scopas. That's when I learned that same body shapes equal critical beat down...

So I borrowed a fish trap from John at Mr. Aqua and it worked like a charm. I took out my current Yellow Tang and put a new one in the tank at the same time I re-introduced the battered Purple Tang. All seems calm now--- they are measuring eachother up. I hope this works. And thank you guys again.
