    Hey everyone

    So i finally got the little guy in the tank and i left the tank light off the whole day only to find out my powder brown tang is attacking the new tang. Everyone else in the tank seem to be doing just fine with him.

    I was thinking about building a fish trap a putting the powder brown in the sump for a little wile or do you think i would be better to just get rid of him all together?????? any thought would be helpfull

    did you redo the rock work like suggested. It seems like a minor and silly thing to us, but can mean a world of difference.

    Unfortunately that doesnt always work and I think you will have to choose one and trade it in. The pb and the achilles are in the same genius and have a high chance of just fighting again after you "reintroduce" it back to the tank. While a 150g can definately hold all three tangs without any problem, I would have introduced them all at the same time.

    You are dealing with some fairly expensive fish. Both of which are ich magnets. The stress of this bullying is going to not only cause undo stress on the achilles it will also cause it on the pb.....which both will likely result in ich and them not being able to overcome it. So I would choose who you want the most and then stick with that one.

    good luck

    I wasnt able to redo the rock since they are all glued down to each other. I was thinking about catching the powder brown tang and my scopies tang and sticking them in the sump and find some local reefer how can rehome the 2 fish for me. If there some local reefer in SANTA ROSA CA who be willing to take the fish off my hand please get in touch with me. I really dont like taking my fish to LFS. Since to them it nothing more then extra money. i did build a trap today. If things dont look better tonight i will stick the powder brown the scopies tang in the sump:cry:
