    He needs to adapt to his new home, give him some time, but still offer the food. I like to introduce a new fish at night when the lights are off. This approach is less stressful to the fish and most of the time the other fish dont even know theres a new tank mate. Thats what I did when I introduced my Kole tang with my Yellow tang. To this day, I havent seen them fight at all. Luna
