tangs are known to be aggresive they could attack others and is the last fish suitable to introduce last if other tank mates eg clowns damsels all inside..

they feed one pellets flakes if u lucky to find one..

they omnivores.. meaning they can take seaweeds too and veggies..

feed em' with nori.. too

Don't feed pellets then...I never liked pellets anyway...try those dried seaweed they use to cook soup. When dried they look black...When hydrated they are purplish..my yellow tang loves them! :D

Always something more important than fish.

Bro..

if add in last izzit also a possible chance that YT will attack damsel or clown ?

IMo i think i will done fine if its added last........ As your clown and damsel has already established territories in the tank thus i believe that the YT being the last fish would dare to attack your fish inside............ Hey anyway tangs are suppose to be rather ok with fish not of the same species, colour and shape so i believe that your clown and damsel will not be attack...

But in any case what i mention does not applies to every fish although most of them, as some are known to be boss of the tank even if it is added last and goes ard attacking almost every fish

I have 1 YT with 2 X yellow-tail damsel, 2 X domino damsel, 2 X Anthias and 2 x Maroon clown. So, far no problem. Occasionally, the YT will chase some of the fishes around but no fighting. The YT eat everything that I put in the tank (pellets and Mysis). I tried feeding with Nori once but the YT freak-out! and went into hiding! (because it is black colour) Also, the YT is the largest fish in the tank.
