Adding Baby Vlamingi Tang

[chrisalvarez832]

Today I came home with a new baby Vlamingi Tang approximately an inch long. I currently have 5 Tangs in a 200 Gallons Reef running for 3.5 years. All 5 Tangs are established and getting along without any sign of aggression for the past 3.5 years maybe because I had them since they were babies. I also kept them well fed with Nori and frozen Mysis. When I saw the Vlamingi today I did not hesitate to bring him home. He has been quarantined and ready. It has been in my 'must have list" but I put it off for while because I'm scared the other tangs might bully him. I know 6 Tangs in 200 gallons is over crowding, I was hoping to upgrade my tank in 2 years to 500 gallons. I currently have the Baby Vlamingi in a box for observation. I was told to wait at least a month before releasing it with the rest go the gang. Thoughts?

How’s everyone’s Vilamingi doing? They grow so quick, mine has almost doubled in size, great fish.
