Sohal tangs

Who has these? A few questions. Is yours aggressive ( I know they are known to be), but I do know sometimes you get lucky and they wont be. What size is your tank?

Thanks!

I had one in my 240 for a couple years.
It was as most are, very aggressive tangs.
I decided to pass him on to someone with a larger tank or get rid of my other tangs.
My purple tang which was nearly twice his size wouldn't hardly come out of his hiding spot cause the sohal was such a bully.
IMO my 6' long 240 gallon was too small.

That's more or less what I thought. Thanks.

I have a customer with a large one in a 350g+ and it is the most aggressive fish in the tank. Currently he is the boss, but not bad. He is in there with a bunch of other fish, a handful of which are other tangs. He goes and swim towards the other tangs, they avoid him and he finds someone else to annoy. A few months ago we added a powder blue and this set him over the edge, he viscously attacked all the tangs relentlessly until the powder blue was removed. He then went back to being the boss, but not a terror.

Thanks for that.

Have one in my 225 and was fine even with a Achilles in it and many other tangs, feed seaweed a lot helps them not be so aggressive
