Purple And Yellow Tang Combi

[xeneryx]

I have a yellow tang in my tank. Been wanting to buy a purple.

But heard that they can never stay together.

What you guys think ?

Best if you add both in concurrently. If not, in your case, you might want to rescape your tank and isolate your yellow first.

IMO, ur new purple tang should equal size to ur YT or slightly bigger. Size does matter in the tank. Cheers.

I have 3 yellow, 1 purple and 1 salfin.....my friend passed me a Powder Blue....I was very worried that they will whack him till jialat jialat....

So I put the PBT into a betta box....only at midnight.... I released the PBT into the tank....surprising nothing happened at all...very good tactic

[reefer guy]

add at least two equal the size or bigger to the resident yellow tang.

Sounds like a good idea. Btw...as for Your 3 yellow and 1 purple , did you put them in at the same time?

Bro. How's the chaeto ? hee...

I am doing things slowly on my tank. Worry if i do too fast on the equipments, i will not be able to learn and read up first on my options, end up will regret. Hee...

Back on the topic. I m also v keen to add YT and PT. So will wait for a chance when i see them both available in either CF or Sealife.

CF has PT now. Plenty. But no YT.

Jireh has nice YTs today.

Personally i like the fishes from CF and Sealife.

For me I keep 2 yellow n 2 purple tangs in 4 footer. Yellow are with me for 3 years before adding

the purple 1 week ago from sealife. Only first day the yellows bully newcomers,now they mind

their own business.

I was advised to place a mirror at the side of the tank to divert the attention of the bullies. It ur new PT same size or smaller than ur YT? If smaller you may have to isolate the YT in betta box to let the new comer times to adapt. Another way is to create a hiding cave by re-arrange the liverock for the new fish.

Hope it helps, Cheers.

Thanks for the reply.

My pt is bigger. My yt doesn't even let the pt come out of the rock. I just catch my yt and place it in the betta box. Actually I've done this before and let it out after a day. This time I will put it longer. I will try put a mirror also.

If you can afford to rescape, that may help too. Trick the YT to feel that it is in a new territory as that it is no longer its territory hehe.

[zico]

Just bought a YT, PT and a Sailfin all together @ same time.

Intend to leave all 3 together in a basket floating on the tank with lights off. Will keep lights off for rest of today.... simulate dark clouds for my tank today... hehe.

Then quietly release them tonite when its all dark.

Wish me luck.

[xeneryx]
