hey do you know that it is a thumbrule not to have 2 tang of same species together especially the acanthurus species.... I think you gotta remove one first and then think of feedin the one you keep later or else i can assure you one will get serious injuries

Do you observe aggressive behavior between them?? If they are peaceful with each other like my Acanthurus leucosternon and Acanthurus japonicus... livbing peacefully together... fighting at first but now ok already.. both feeding well.. if yours is fighting consistently then take one out... If not, try to entice it with strong smellling food... maybe soak food in garlic extract.

so far, they are not fighting with one another. only that the pbt is not eating from the way i observed. sorry. the other one is powder brown.

The PT is in ' jail' right now. Added in a regal tang two days ago. Doing fine.
