3 weeks ago we added a school of 10 captive bred Hawaiian Yellow Tangs from Biota to our 6’ 228g system! They are amazing. They range in size from 1.5” to 2.5” with 3 of them being bullied. At night they all sleep in the same area and tolerate eachother, during the day they act like a bunch of school kids at the park. lol
The “Yellows” are absolute pigs and I’m paying for it with the nasties. Usually I’d drop the light schedule, cut back on feeding etc while the ugly stages work themselves out BUT keeping this tang school happy is my number 1 priority right now. I enjoy watching them graze all that green hair algae.
The bully of the group is named “Bruno”. He’s about 2” and isn’t the largest but he is missing a scalpel when he faces to the right.

Loving these fish! Drop a comment of how you care for your tang gang! #tanggang
***update - since cutting back on feedings it seems some of the aggression has lifted. Previously I was feeding 5-10 times a day. I’m now feeding one algae clip a day coupled with 2 TDO pellet feedings.
Here’s delivery day…

It’s great watching them graze the hair algae all day long.
