How big are each? Do you have somewhere you can put the sailfin on timeout that is not a breeder acclimation box in the tank? Separate tank/sump?I have just got a regal angle in my reefer 900 but my Sailfin tang won’t stop picking on him I have a mirror up but the angle is still in the corner please help I don’t want to give back my Sailfin tan?
the Sailfin is about 5-6 inches and the angle is about 4 I can get the tang into the sump but will that hurt the tang becouse there is no light?How big are each? Do you have somewhere you can put the sailfin on timeout that is not a breeder acclimation box in the tank? Separate tank/sump?
It will not hurt it due to no light. The low light is actually better for keeping it calm.the Sailfin is about 5-6 inches and the angle is about 4 I can get the tang into the sump but will that hurt the tang becouse there is no light?
Thank you for the advice I will try and get him into the sumpIt will not hurt it due to no light. The low light is actually better for keeping it calm.
In your situation, I would first try removing the sailfin into the sump for a week. Feed both the tank and the sump heavily. You need the sailfin to chill out from what it sees at "his" territory, as well as get the angel comfortable and get a lot of nutrition into it. Reintroduction starts in an Acclimating box. With a fish of that size, I would And the box and put the fish in after lights out in the evening, allow the entire light cycle the next day to run. Normally observing both fishes behavior. So long as the angel is still feeling comfortable in the tank with the sail fin present and eating, I would release the sailfin from the box that evening after lights out. A fish that big cannot (should not) stay in an activation box for a few days.
