SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted July 23, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 23, 2005 Anyone who has a Dory and demonstrates a mad and maddening behaviour? Mine's the King in the tank despite having a Blue-Face, a Sohal, a Purple, a Yellow and an Orange Shoulder !!! When i add an Annularis yesterday, shit !!! the Blue attacked it and tore its fins till the entire fish looks as if its been brutally raped !!! Right now hoping it will leave the Annularis alone to recover and eat.

SRC Member AREA51 Posted July 23, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 23, 2005 fierce blue tang btw, aren't blue tangs supposed to be a more peaceful species?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted July 23, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 23, 2005 I think they are supposedly more peaceful than other tangs, but somehow mine went even to the extent of hunting where the Annularis is hiding and use its teeth to try and bite it (my blue tang has teeth and when it eats chomp chomp like a parrot fish)... It is however a very beautiful deep blue tang...perhaps will do better in a 6 footer....anyone interested in it if i manage to get it out?

SRC Member hotlemond Posted July 24, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 24, 2005 Are your blue tang one of the oldest and largest inhibitants? They can get very territorial, especially for a well mature size like yours. Perhaps it has also mistook your angel's almost similar color as a treat to it. let alone, his newly arrival makes matter worst. I observed they love nori alot, you may want to give it a try with the trap. After he is gone your sohal or purple will take over the throne.

SRC Member Melvyn Tan Posted July 24, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted July 24, 2005 Yes he is the oldest and biggest....will try the box trap + nori Quote My Beautiful ANGEL - Matsushima Nanako Equipment List for 4x2x2 Tank & 3x1.5x1.5 Sump Hagen 802 x 2, Tunze 6060, Arcadia T5 (54W x 8), Eheim 1260 (return) Eheim 1250 (Chiller), Aquabee 300 x 2 (Feed) H&S 150-F2001 (850l Skimmer), H&S A110-F2000 (400l Skimmer), H&S 110-F1000 (1000l Sulphur/Nitrate Filter), H&S 150-F2000IA (800l Calcium Reactor) Coralife 3X (UV Steriliser), I-Aquatic IF 312 (Fluidised Reactor), Kent Kalk Delivery, Resun CL650, Pinpoint ORP & PH Meters & Wireless Thermometer 4x2x2 Tank Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
