Coral Beauty Aggresion : (

LOL sorry and thanks so much for the help.... im sorry i am just worrying about this issue sooooo much!! do not know what to do!! I am leaning toward removing Kole tang because i might have to anyway in the long run..... : ( What do u all think about that?? Will it solve the issue?? Maybe??

 

Will your LFS hold the kole for a week or two? That way you can see what happens before just getting rid of the Kole even though you will have to eventually get rid of the Kole. Good luck time for sleep for me.

 

Thanks again!! I will try that!!! Thank you very much!!!!!!!!

 

removing the Kole Tang, may help

The CB is not an overly agrresive fish IME

if that combo had been in a 90, as TBELT was saying, they probably would not achnowledge each others existance

in the confines of a smaller tank, with both fish competing on the rockwork for browsing rights the fish are going to fall out and it can get to a point where the fish takes out that aggression on other inhabitants

basically in a small tank thats well stocked, the fish can and do, get on each others nerves more often than they would do in a less populated enviroment - IMO

with some of the bio load lifted it is possible that the CB attitude may change
but there are no certainties

But my honest opinion is removing that Kole tang from that sized tank irrespective of its current size, is a good desicion and one that I dont see you ever regretting

when you have a 90 or larger - thats when you can try the combo again
I believe you may get a completely different outcome in those circumstances

Thanksa lot Steve! I think what I am going to do is take out the Kole Tang for one week (kept at lfs) then see what happens with the CB and clowns. Thanks again!!

 

My coral beauty and my clown get along great...they even hang out together in the same Zenia, figure that one. The clown, to some extent accepts the coral beauty and doesnt even try to bump it out, not like it does with the the peppermint shrimp thats a different story...lol

 

thats a wee bit over overstocked,overstock in my eyes has nothing to do with the volume of fish but more of the size of fish being in the system,im suprised you can keep the kole tangs diet supplimented with that small amount of glass and rock for algae,upgrade to a 55 my kole was happy in there until a fish wiped out the entire tank
very strong hardy fish when you notice that he turns pale thats a sign of extreme stress than he needs to be removed
