When I restarted my tank, the first fish I got was a Mimic Tang. He was a pale yellow but now is really more purple, and he's grown in size as well. I now have a pair of Ocellaris clowns, a Firefish and a Red-headed Fairy Wrasse. It's a 240 gallon, 72" tank.
The tang has always ignored the clown. When the other two were (separately) added, he would bully them a bit and chase them back into hiding. That went on for a couple days, but now he ignores the Firefish and mostly ignores the wrasse, although the wrasse still hides when he comes by just to be safe I guess. I also allegedly have a Diamond Goby but he made a beeline for the rockwork when I introduced him and I never see him, so who knows.
I would like to add at least one more tang, but given his initial aggression towards the wrasse, I'm hesitant. I think a Yellow tang would be great and he's a different genus but I don't seem to see them much anymore. Any recommendations? Can you put an active fish like a tang in an acclimation box?
