Tangs

[MadScientist]

Are tangs compatible?

[Volitan]

Perhaps you would like to be more specific?

[DeepBlue]

many kind of tangs lah....

difficult to keep yellow, purple, sailfin and scopas together...same family...if established...a newer addition can be bullied ...

I have a well established yellow T, so I bought a Purple that is bigger than my yt...it survived the initial harressment and tail nipping, spine slashing moves...

try not keep tangs of the same family...

and sohal....add last....my sohal is fierce man

[Dong gu]

was told to try introduce all at the same time. hvn't tried that yet tho. not sure if it works.

but it's bez to intro the fiercest one last.

[DeepBlue]

true..if you like this familu alot...ad sailfin first...then add the others...purple or yellow tang last

[Volitan]

I was hoping to get some YTs together and add them into the tank at the same time. Can work?

[DeepBlue]

one condition....big tank..if not....30/70 chance they fight.....70% or more....fight...ding....ding.....

[Volitan]

How about young tangs?

[DeepBlue]

I have seen schooling YTs(young ones) ....but once they are established with nothing much to do in a tank...they get bored and...like kids...they fight

when i was re-setting my 3 ft tank, i'd to put my blue tang in a 2 ft tank. it started attacking other fish due to the lack of space. therefore, nvr keep tangs if u can't provide enuff space for them to swim. it'll be worst if u keep 2 in a small tank.

[Volitan]

Sigh, looks like the best possible solution (other than having 1 tang in the tank) is to have diff "shapes" of tangs.

[Dong gu]

hw big is ur tank?

[Volitan]

hoping for 4ft. But wont be in near future. So now continue dreaming...
