any updates or other anecdotes out there! always loved this fish but been afraid it will mess with my sailfin who is about 6" now and have him for 4 years, I am redoing the tank and in the process of reaquascaping, I am thinking of giving this guy a shot... but will like to start with a small one, there is also a yellow tang and many wrasses in the tank today.
215g 72x24x30 tank
My Sohal does not like any other tang in the tank.
He tries to dominate all of them. This includes a purple tang, yellow tang, olivaceus and convict, the latter 2 being his particular dislikes.
He totally ignores every other fish, although he did give the Bellus Angel a good checkover when it first arrived in the tank.
I was defiantly planning on waiting for the 500 as I don't know if anything will interior the plans for the 500 gallon. So waiting for the 500 for all o those rants for sure. Interesting that the PBTs are more aggressive than the sohals... Would a PBT in addition to the fangs listed maybe keep the sohal in check? I think I would add a PBT to the list if so. Strict QT was in the plan for sure!
Far as I am concerned a powder blue is a more aggressive tang then sohal...maybe not quite as dangerous but when a powder blue gets a hate on watch out!
