Hello figured I would make a thread here and get some opinions on what to do with my 2 Yellow Tangs. I've had them for close to a year now and I originally had them in a 210. I broke the 210 down because I ordered a red sea S1000, the tangs have always been buttholes and the bigger of the 2 would chase other fish including my large naso but it wasn't to out of control. Since breaking that tank down I moved them to a 5ft red sea 525xl for that last month. The S1000 is now setup and running and will be moving the fish over in about a week once i get screen tops built but I'm actually contemplating ditching the yellow tangs. They constantly harass the other tangs, the big one is the worst but now the smaller one is starting to become a bully. I've set a mirror up in the corner for the last couple days trying to get them to mellow out but so far not much has changed except the naso, foxface, and sailfin are riled up at the mirror too.
So my thought was either ditch them or try to add another one or 2 to make their numbers larger in hopes they would calm down. That's if i can find a couple. Or a couple purples, but i've always heard they are meaner than yellow but i'm not so sure about my yellows. I'm sure the move back to a bigger tank with alot more rockwork will kind of calm it down a little, but in the back of my mind i'm not so sure and dont want to have to try to wrangle them out of the s1000 once in.
Current stock list is:
2 Yellow tangs
Large Naso
Desjardini Sailfin
Magnificent Foxface
2 clowns
3 anthias
Starry Blenny
Radiant and Melanarus wrasse
2 dart fish
I will be adding a whitetail bristletooth to the 1000 when I move everyone over, atleast thats the hope.
