Tangs

[Simcha6]

Hey everyone I just bought a sailfin tang the thing is he's twice as big than my brown powder... I rearranged the rocks my PB still attacks my sailfin his top fins seems to have split. What do I do?

 

[Simcha6]

No one?

 

[Joeganja]

Wait a week and see what happens

 

[Simcha6]

You sure joe ? I feed them pellets a few hours ago the sailfin ate

 

[Joeganja]

with tangs some learn to get along with each other some don't. You powder brown is just being protective of his territory. I assume you've had him for over a month so he's comfortable with his place. And be careful make sure that the fish aren't stressed out too much cuz you don't want an ick breakout

 

[Simcha6]

True I'm new to saltwater fish no one guided me :/ I was left with this tank by my grandfather I owned freshwater before

 

[Simcha6]

I called the store I bought him from and explained it he said he should be fine he's a different shape than the brown powder and twice as big..

 

[Joeganja]

With tangs you wanna add them at the same tang. You want to add the zebrasoma genus the last which you did. So just wait it out

 

[Simcha6]

Alright thanks joe u think everyone will be fine? Do you suggest me to keep the lights off and put a blanket over it seems when it's dark all my fish go into the rocks and it's peaceful ?

 

[fishroomlady]

it wouldn't hurt to turn the lights off

 

[Joeganja]

No just they have to learn to get a long feed them well. Don't have the lights on for more than 8 hours a day
