I recently added a naso tang to my 150 gallon tall tank i currently have 1 false clown, 2 blue-green chromis, 6 lined wrass, red corse wrass, 1 anthia and a yellow tang. i put the naso in and the yellow tang instantly started to get up next to it and barb it, is this just going to last a couple days until they settle down or did i just make a big mistake by putting them together? the yellow tang is the bigger of the two but not by much if that helps any

well ive never had this problem with tangs but i have had this go on with many of my other fish its usually just a dominance thing once one realises that the other is dominant it will back down and all will be well in your tank atleast this is what ive seen with my fish hope this helps

as far as i know tangs should be introduced at the same time. and not only tangs but any fish that resembles a tang i.e. copperbanded butterflies. i speak from twice the experience!! my yellow tang bet up two different CBB!!

I had a vlamingi, yellow and scopas, they all were buds. I removed the vlamingi and got a powder bown, the yellow and scopas attack him non stop, we will see what happends..

Today is day 1, I turned off the lights wicked early to give him a fighting chance...

hope for the best

I have a Naso, Atlantic, Yellow and Vlamingi tang all in the same tank, and all put in the tank at different times. No fighting has ever taken place. I think it will only last for a few days.

Well it only took 12 hours of dark to sort this out...All my tangs are now boys!! Powder Brown adjusted fine and Mr scopas now leaves him alone
