Question

I just added a Naso tang to my tank and my sail fin tang wont leave it alone any ideas how to get it to stop before it stress out the Naso????

put in a mirror on the side of the tank. my sailfin flips out on it and only pays attention to it. see if that works. or you might have to move the sailfin out for a little while and let the naso settle in and then replace the sailfin.

Rearrange the rock placement and let them find their perferred territory.

You could just turn off the lights and let the sailfin go to "sleep" sometimes that does it.

thanks MIke that is what I did hope it works

Good luck. I hope it works, I have added fish using this method and it has worked. Sometimes it does not and it takes a bit more to get them to live w/ each other LOL.

Thanks the sail Finis great but thinks he is suck a bad ***!

 

[Chef Reef]

did it work? did you try the mirror?

 

[Beach Bum 70]

Glad to hear it si working out. I have a powder blue that is pretty mean. So far since I have had him he has killed: 1 achilles tang and maybe 4 clown tangs. He is the devil!!!

yea i have an ahole sailfin as well. he gets on these periods and starts messin with everyone in the tank.

I agree with the approaches mentioned but I gotta say this. A naso and a sailfin in a 4 ft tank is just plain mean. Both fish will get way too big for that size tank. Had to say it.:thumbdown
