Hi there - I think my purple tang is lonely
I recently put a magnifying glass on my tank and whenever I come up to the tank and look into it - 'she' (my wife assigned the gender, not I) occupies the magnifying glass - trying to get as close as possible. With others in the house she does not do this. Im the only feeder - so it appears to me that she recognizes me - which is a bit of a surprise to me.
Regardless, Im starting to feel bad since there are only 2xclowns and 1xPurple tang in the tank.
The tank is on the small side - @ 30Gallons. I have a 230 Gallon on the way (which is how I justified the purchase - given the small space). Any suggestions on a good pairing for a purple tang to keep her company over the next few months while I get the 230 setup? Are there species that purples will make friends with more often than others? She is on the aggressive side, and despises the clowns for the most part (who wouldnt).
