*Fish addition UPDATE!*
Added all of the new tangs (hippo, orangeshoulder, white-tail kole) from QT and my copperband from my 75gal 2 weekends ago to the 310 gallon. The hippo and orangeshoulder went in without any issue at all, they were largely ignored and had peaceful entry into the tank. The copperband wasn’t exactly bullied at all either when added but the move to the new tank stressed him and he stayed hidden in a corner by a powerhead for a few days and didn’t eat. He’s since now back to his old ways roaming the tank peacefully and eating well again. The only issue I had was with my white-tail kole. He got scarred up pretty good with fighting between him and the yellow tangs and the gem tang. Didn’t help the first few nights he kept trying to make his night time home the same home the gem has had claimed for months. He got scarred up pretty good the first several nights. Wasn’t much fighting in the day time, it was happening as the lights dimmed or lights out. But after a week he’s now found his own home to call his in the tank and everyone is now back to peacefully, day & night swimming throughout the tank.
Over the last week his scarring has been slowly healing and getting his natural coloring coming back in. Probably within a couple months his scarring will be mostly gone and back to his beautiful self again.
Think as far as new fish additions I’m mostly done now. At most I may add a rhomboid wrasse and mandarin goby to the tank in the future, but that would absolutely be it for the stocking of fish in the 310. Last thing I want to do is overcrowd the tank
Also found it funny that my Bella Goby I added 2 months ago never wanted to come out of his burrow ever, but once the new tangs and copperband were added, he’s been coming out much more frequently.
