Blue and Powder Blue tangs okay?
Blue and Powder Blue tangs okay?
cham - thanks for this thread.
I currently have a blue tang and a yellow tang and thinking about adding a powder blue...similar to what you've just done.
How did the blue and PB interact? I thought since they have similar body shapes it might be an issue. I'm assuming since the PB got introduced later it's okay?

My hippo is the rare exception, a giant baby. He runs from my chromis and is by far on the lowest level of rank in my tank. The yellow was a bit grumpy with the PBT but they have worked out most of their differences. The yellow still flashes at the PBT at feeding time and even though the PBT is twice it's size the yellow is dominant. That would also be another exception, most PB's are grumpy lil terds.
IME fish personality changes much like humans and dogs, it's hard to say for your tank.

Thanks!
She continues to get fatter in my DT. I have a Ehiem autofeeder with NLS that feeds at lights on and I feed when I get home. She also is a big grazer and I have lots live rock for her to graze on. I'll try and get an updated photo.

Grats! I just had a run in with a PBT. Killed my Kole and a lavender tang (i should have known better) and then when back to the store ;-) This is one of my favorite fish but I think it will be a long time before I try again!!!!

Great job! The fish looks fantastic.
Cham, it's a pretty incredible feeling when you're able to keep one of these beautiful fish.. I had given up for a while and then in January of 2011, I caught a beautiful one on sale from Live Aquaria.. She ate nothing but Nori and bloodwroms for 7 months and then BOOM... Her appetite opened up and now she is the hog of the tank.. I really love this fish.. Congratualtions on the success you've had with yours!

Congrats to you as well. Would love to see pics of yours too.
Mine was the same way, pellet only (thank god for NLS!!!). Now she eats everything that hits the water.
Thanks man! I wish mine ate pellets from the beginning. She wen through almost a sheet of Nor I a day along with the other Tangs in order to keep her weight up... Fortunately, she stayed pretty fat througout her acclimation to my reef. Those spectrum pellets are the Truth! Here is a picture of my girl.
