Mixing Tangs

[justin_cutri]

Picked up a sailfin tang from Age of Aquariums the other day. As soon as I put the bag in the tank my powder blue was all over it. Which has been the case with every new fish I've added since adding him, he's a real ***. I mean he was freaking out. So I just let him tire out on the bad for about an hour. Once it seemed safe enough I drop the sailfin in. Soon as he's in the water the powder blue is on him again. Fortunately this sailfin seems to be extremely passive because he just ran him in circles for a while never charging back. When I came home later that evening they both seemed to be tired out and nobody was dead. The next day they are chilling like homies. Win!

Photo would be less blurry if the fish would stop swimming for a second >.>

You can also stand a mirror in front of the tank to distract the powder blue. He will be far more intersted in the other powder blue in "his" tank than ANY other random fish you add. Lol gl with the herd bud.

Nice Powder! I really like their colors. Wish I could get one but I already have a Yellow Tang

My powder is not so bad, but I have heard they can be aggresive towards other tangs. Mine swims around with the damsel all the time.
