Maximum number of tangs?

[neokn]

But your tank is sooooo big and tall, how the hell did the yellow and brown tang manage to do that? They play tag team?

I remember 3 of my damsel will do that with the new intro, so I remove the leader of the 3 and they calm down more. But now my unicorn team up with my blue velvet, its even worse as my unicorn will virtually bite off the fin of the new intro so much so that the new into hide itself on the sight of my unicorn.

yeah...they seem to team up against my purple tang. Funny enough, my brown tang was the last to be added. Initially was ok with just the purple and the yellow tang. Now seems like the 100m dash everytime i see them. I also tot my tank shud be no problem. How leh? fish the bullies out?

Have to check with those whom have yellow and purple tang in one tank hobbyist as I only have one tang so far (Orange shoulder still in quarantine). But I do see yellow tang going after purple tang in some reefers tank though.

1 suggestion. encage one of the bullies for 1 or 2 days and it will know how to behave. This is what I do to my lemon damselfish, I encage it for 3 days without fopd and the fella strunk, When I release it again it don't dare to chase other LS.

Good luck to you.

yeah i was thinking of either quarantining the bullies or rearranging the live rocks for more hiding spots.

I wonder if the bullies will get stressed out?

Bro, I have a 6ft tank and already think that I am pushing it with 4-5 tangs in terms of bioload and space for the tangs to swim freely. I would highly suggest that you dunt add any more as they tend to get territorial once they get used to the tank.

[Tanggy]

Well so far so good. 3 of them have been in there since the tank started. The rest was added once in awhile With the latest addition more than 2 weeks liao.

I do keep track of my water condition and so far so good. NO2 is zero, NO3 is 2.5 - 5ppm. I do week - bi weekly water change.
