I have a 6' x 2' x 20" high tank. It's been running now for 10 months. I have 2 clowns that I have had for 8 years. They don't bother anyone. I had an algae bloom so I got a yellow eye kole tang and a lawnmower blenny. The tang is a pig. He eats all day. He thinks all the food is his. I got a little tail spot blenny because I was looking and finally found one. Just recently I got a pair of blue flasher wrasses. The tang chases the blennies at times. He doesn't hurt them but swims at you until you move even with the clowns and wrasses. So I was thinking I should add more wrasses as to spread it around. I wanted to add more wrasses anyways so I got 2 Mccoster wrasses, LFS QT them and all but they are on the small side 1 male and 1 female. Adding them has not gone smoothly. The male tried to jump right after adding and about knocked himself out. He hit the top hard. Next, he tried the overflow, twice I pulled him out of the sock. Now the Mccosters are in the rock on the side of tank. They only come out to feed. It's been 5 days. I haven't seen any aggression between the wrasses but the tang is rather hyber.
So, should I keep with the plan an add another flasher wrasse? Maybe a pair of filaments if I can find them. I would like to add a fairy or two as well.
Sell the tang? Put him in a time out in the sump? He is a good cleaner.
I was thinking I should get a breader tank or specimen container to keep the wrasses in the tank to help them adjust to their new world. Not sure on which one either. Would this help with a hyper tang?
Any advice would be great.
