in my 150 mixed reef, i have 1 medium powder blue, 1 small purple tang, 1 small kole tang and a small orange shoulder tang. video below.

i am about to add a multicolor angel, 2 filefish gobies, 1 melanarus wrasse, and 2 small maroons. They have all run through my QT protocol.

i can either put them in an acclimation box a few at a time. the box is too small for them all. Or i can risk dumping them all in at the same time, with the hopes that the tangs' aggression will be spread out amongst the new guys.

main concern is the angel. Thoughts?

Personally, I'd put em all in at the same time. If there are more fish to chase, the less likely there will be any real agreasion

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
