I have four tangs (yellow, purple, sailfin, and hippo) in a 5 foot tank. I put mirrors on either end. All of the nonsense stopped within 48 hours.
This sounds like a great method for introducing new fish to an established tank!I use a suction cup “makeup” mirror that magnifies 5x and can be positioned however I chooseUSB adjustable 5x makeup Mirror
I also leave the new fish in an acclimation box and attach the veggie clip directly to the acclimation box so that the other tangs are forced to eat right next to the new fish
after 3-5 days, I add the new guy to the mix and everyone gets along great! I imagine that every time the new fish swims by they are like, “Hey, it’s the salad guy! We love the salad guy!”
It’s worked wonders for me and I have a lot of tangs - Sailfin, Yellow, Hippo, Purple, Kole, and I will be adding a Blonde Naso on Tuesday and doing the same process.
Other fish in the tank:
6 line wrasse
Yellow Coris Wrasse
melanurus wrasse
3 Biota Pavo Damselfish
Royal Gramma
lyretail anthias
2 Bartlet anthias
2 black occeliris/percula clownfish
2 orange occeliris/percula clownfish
Diamond Watchmen Goby
Coral Beauty
Lawnmower Blenny
Magnificent Foxface Rabbitfish
It is! What’s great about the 5x magnification mirror is that when a fish looks at its reflection, it sees a fish that looks identical but is 5 times bigger than it is and thinks it’s a huge fish that could definitely beat that fish up if it messed with it. It’s funny to see the reflections that they see when they are looking at themselves in the mirror. I will try to get a picture of it if I can.This sounds like a great method for introducing new fish to an established tank!
