That is good. One of my favorite fish. My yellow tang can be a jerk to mine sometimes. I think because they are similar in shape? Or maybe because he's a jerk. Last tang I will ever own.
Zebrasoma tangs are among the most aggressive it seems. My bigger hippo was busy chasing the two smaller hippos around, and the Sgt. major damsels were chasing each other around.
At first the powder blue and all the damsels were chasing the CBB. All but my azure damsels that is. She (the CBB) stayed in the back right hand corner after that, and all the fish left her alone.
After the tank lights went off for the night, she went into the rock work.
I’ll be up early this morning. I have tank maintenance to do and dinos to remove after all. Most importantly though, I have fish to check on. I have a feeling they’ll be best buds with the fish that were already there by the end of the day.
I just hope that Angel (yes, the CBB has a name) comes out and swims around more. I think she will. The bigger fish only chased her for about a half hour after release.
She was decidedly picking at rocks, thankfully. I assume she was eating copepods, especially at her size. She’s about 3 inches long, 3 1/2 inches from tail to beak. I think she’ll be able to take white worms, especially the smallest ones. They certainly won’t be her whole diet but they should help her transition to healthier foods than brine shrimp. I might have to make her a feeder so she can eat. Hopefully the other fish will let her eat in peace without having to use a feeder, but I’ll make her one in a heartbeat if it becomes necessary. I’ll do anything in my power to keep her, and the rest of my fish, inverts, anemones and corals healthy and thriving. (I know, nems and corals are inverts too.)
As for my cleaner wrasse, he swam around for a couple of minutes and darted into the rocks. I haven’t seen him since. I expect him to stay hidden for a while. Hopefully though he’ll feel comfortable enough to come out of hiding today.
Edit: Angel was eating Hikari spirulina brine shrimp at the store. If I can’t get it at the LFS here in my town, I’ll get it from
BRS or something. That’s only if she passes on the white worms and frozen food. There are plenty of micro dusters in there that she could eat, although I hope she leaves them alone. If it’s between Angel and the dusters though, needless to say, Angel wins without having to bat an eye! It’s a good thing she doesn’t have to bat an eye since she doesn’t have eyelids exactly!
