    Well after my re-start, I successfully added a new Kole Tang. I added a new Orange Fin Tang this last Saturday, and they have been at each other ever since. I have had multiple Tangs in the past, but these 2 just will not seem to work it out. I finally got him to stay out long enough for some pics. He pretty much stays out, but the Kole keeps him pinned in the corner. Hopefully they will eventually get along. My Clown seems to always be the ambassador of the tank. :)

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Congrats, both beautiful fish.

    Have you tried tapping a small mirror to the side of the tank to divert the aggressor attention, sometimes it works like a charm and sometimes it fails.

    Not yet, but if the aggression does not settle down in the next day or so, I will try that. They are both awesome, so I would like to see it work out.

    Those are some good looking fish! Congrats and good luck on the aggression. I've never had a tang, no suggestions from P

    I am really pulling for you, but I think that since they are both from the same genus (Ctenochaetus) you will likely have aggression between them.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the aggression continues. Same genus can be tough with tangs.
