White tail tang question, aggression or

[btb72]

I’m pretty sure this is just it going after it’s own reflection and not anything else. It’s in the qt and on day 6 so copper (using copper power) is at 2.0 right now, just dosed first round of GC and he has been acting like this the whole time off and on and just making sure what I’m seeing if it attacking it’s own self. First time qting my own fish, so I’m just double checking everything. Thanks
Ps sorry for bad video I have to hide in the chair so he can’t see me.

Well I can’t seem to
Upload the video. It’s doing the swim sideways on the bottom and tail slapping like crazy.

Sorry, I couldn't run the video either. One thing people do is create a YouTube link and upload it there.

Like many tangs, these guys can be territorial and aggressive towards other tangs
They simmer down in a few days of a new introduction but put a new fish through h**l for 48-72 hours in many cases
They can also be glutinous whey it comes to feeding

Ya, I’ve had many tangs just never had a qt and attacking itself so just making sure it was only that. He is looking pretty good now that he is getting more comfortable in the qt (29 gallon with a small fox face, melanarus wrasse) his color has come back but when he got really comfortable his so aggression came out. I k ow that is just a normal part of a tang. I just wanted to make sure that what I was seeing was only agggression. Again sorry for bad video I was trying not to scare him.
