Last night I added a quarantined, flame angel, and a sailfin tang to my 210 gallon system. I have had success in the past. Putting dwarf angels together in smaller systems However, I think I have a problem and I don’t want to break this tank down because it’s full of 200 pounds of rock and coral. The flame angel has been harassed all day by a pygmy angel. Lots of hiding spaces. The pygmy was added a few months ago when there is was only an Eibli in the tank. The flame angel is hanging out at the top by the power head where no one is bothering him, but he’s already shown signs of being attacked with frayed fins. The sailfin has been harassed by my powder Brown and a little bit by a purple tang . Neither the flame or sailfin have tried to eat yet. They both did well in seven weeks of quarantine.
I have placed mirrors at both ends and now the powder Brown has been attacking his reflection for about eight hours. The sailfin is a little bit more comfortable in the tank, and swimming about a little bit but the flame angel has been pinned in the upper corner of the tank behind the safety of the powerhead.
Does anybody have experience with pygmies and flames together? Should this cool down Or will he pick him to death?
Also, I’m hoping that my tang gang will settle down as time goes on
I could possibly place a piece of egg crate in the tank and separate the two fish, but that would be a lot of work, but I can do it if necessary.
Looking for a less drastic suggestion if anyone has any thanks a lot. The pygmy is about the same size as the flame and both are “dwarfed” by the eibli . The eibli showed aggression towards the pygmy when he was first introduced a few months ago, but largely leaves him alone now. So I was somewhat surprised to see the Pygmy become aggressive after he had been chased around by the eibli when first introduced months ago
