I am thinking of adding another yellow tang to my aquarium. However, I have a captive-bred one and was wondering if it would fight with another young captive-bred yellow tang? Not sure if the territorial behavior would also be displayed if they were not raised having to fight for food... Any...

Hi all! I recently bought two little green clown gobies and added them to my tank. My young Tomini Tang who is normally super chilled and gets on with everyone is trying to hunt these new little gobies down. They’re good at hiding but I fear he’ll eventually catch and kill them. Would you...

Recently got a large Powder Blue tang for my 5 foot, 160gal display. Taken out of QT and added about a week ago. It's probably 7 inches long to the tail. Very pretty, and fat. Right now it's the only tang in the tank, and it's taken to beating up the next-largest fish. My Magnificent Foxface...

I introduced my baby Biota yellow tangs to my display tank last week. They're still relatively small, just under 2". Everyone was doing great, getting along - there are 9 of them in a 7' long tank with lots of hiding places. There were mild posturing but no real fights going on until last night...

Hello all! So I have some fishies in a copper QT tank right now, a Purple Tang, a Blue Hippo Tang, and a Squaretail Tang.

Hey everyone, Alright so I have a 10” blue spine unicorn tang. I’ve had him for a while and eats out of my hand. He’s in my 310g which I plan to add a big blonde Naso and 4-5 other smaller tangs. (Achilles, gem, purple, blue hippo, maybe white tail) I have someone interested in buying the...

Hello All, I am looking to add a second tang to my 125G reef tank. I have a small BIOTA yellow tang currently that’s been with me for about four months. He’s been a great fish and been a model tank mate. I’ve always wanted a convict tang and was thinking of purchasing one to add to my tank...

I have a 125g with 4 clowns, yellow watchman, powder blue tang, and a purple tang. I just added a multicolor angelfish about less than an hour ago and it's getting picked on by both tangs. I've had a dwarf angelfish and tangs together before, but this never happened. I turned on the blue light...

This Bristletooth is one of the calmest, kindest fish I’ve owned and extremely non territorial. Unfortunately, this did not work well with my Gem Tang. The Gem was bullying him, but given some time alone and he should heal his fins. He’s a gorgeous fish and extremely non-aggressive. I’m...

Randomly, my gem tang decided to beat up my Bristletooth Tang for 1-2 days straight. The aftermath is pretty bad. The gem tang has been quarantined to the sump and the rock work has been overhauled to break up any territory crap. Can anyone help me help this guy make a proper recovery?

I was looking these up on Live aquaria and min tank size says 180 gallons. However most have told me they need a bigger tank, 300+. The tank is a Visio 210, 6 x 2 x 30" deep. What is your experience keeping a naso tang, what other tangs did you have it with, what tank size? Appreciate all the...

Have a 310 gallon 96 x 31 x 25 Current stock is 4x reef chomis I’d like to hear stories of everyone keeping their Achilles tangs. I’ve read tons of posts/articles and watched hours of videos and talked to a few LFS. Can’t decide if I want to take my chances- seems even the most expert level...

Hi, I’ve had this Vlamingi Tang for a couple months now and he has been a family favorite. He is super friendly, eats aggressively, gets along with tank mates (Invited my Vampire Tang to school with him and other fish after a day), and overall a super great fish. He has never shown any negative...
