Default Re: powder blue tang

Oh yeah, one other thing. Powder blues are very aggressive, don't try adding another tang to your tank once he's established. Mine has grown to around 5 inches now and I hardly ever buy a new fish for the FO tank because it is such an ordeal. He doesn't like any new fish and adding one involves covering the tank with dark towels and keeping the lights off for a few days or placing a large mirror at one end of the tank so that he spends his aggression trying to chase himself out of the tank. As long as the fish isn't another tang, he gets over it in a few days. If the fish can survive that long the powder blue will let him alone.
