Tangs questions again

scouncil · May 25, 2008

OK, I'm not getting the Achilles, but Donny has another larger powder blue in his store. I'm getting the big purple tang that he has and I've got my big Naso (about the size of Donny's friendly Naso at his store in the front left coral tank). The powder blue isn't eating well yet, so the question is, should I leave my fish in the smaller tank until I add the powder blue (assuming that it lives and eats well), let it get comfortable in a minimal fish environment and then add the others (will the big purple be off balance enough not to kill it....)

Or go ahead and add my Naso now, and the powder with everybody in the tank?

I still like the Sohol tang in the shop, if the powder blue doesn't make it...

Suggestions?
Susan

If you are set on getting a powder blue you need to wait till it is eating and happy, you want to introduce all the tangs together, they will start getting teritorial right away.

Susan do you only like tangs?

You could probably make life alot easier on your self if you would only have one or two tangs then add other fish like wrasses, gobys, clowns, etc.... just my 2 cents.
