Less aggressive tangs

[Noah Hemingway]

I have 2 yellows, purple, bristletooth and a large tomini in a 300. None of them show any aggression. Maybe it’s because of the large tank and they all have plenty of room. I also have a coral beauty, flame angel and a Foxface. They all get along great

that sounds beautiful!

I'm new to the game & hobby having started my tank 11.2.2020. Per my LFS importance of when you add the fish is key. Smaller volume tank so I needed to add mine last. Gramma showed aggression to my Powder Brown for about 2-3 hours. After that been smooth sailing. Redfin Lawnmower & Powder Brown eat off base rock right next to each other. Oc. Clowns, Ladder Goby, Chalk Bass, LMB, Purple Gramma, Cleaner Shrimp, Chromis and Powder Brown all get along.

I have a convict tang, a two spot bristletooth, a yellow, and a purple. The yellow and purple have both been with me for 9 years and the other 2 have been added in the last year. The convict and bristletooth are both jerks.

I have a powder blue, 2 clowns, 3 chromis, and a lawnmower blenny. Just added a hippo tang and a foxface. The powder blue is being extremely aggressive towards both of the newcomers. He's pushing them around, not nipping as of yet. Just being a big bully. I know this is normal while everyone figures out where they are in the pecking order .They're in a 120 gallon.

Mine does the same thing. Just added a sailfin and he did the same for about a week then settles down. Still messes with him from time to time but much more settled now that hiearchy is set. Was thinking that it was going to be my Purple Tang who was going to be the PITA fish but nope its my Passer Angel and PBT who harrass all new fish. Same happened with my Tonami Tang when introduced. Was gonna add a Clown Tang/Shohal Tang but didn't make it thru QT. Biggest thing I am happy for is NO ICH outbreak with my PBT in any of this. Normally that happens too as they get stressed about new additions. Key is feeding and sometimes keeping lights out for a bit too let the tank "calm" and or moving or adding rock scape. Good Luck!
