Very nice! Good looking fish.



Whats the dimensions of your 230? Are yours getting along well? What species?

Sorry off topic but I am looking for options for my tank. I think if I were to try to add more tangs (I have 3) to my 200 (72"x30") that I will add a few at once this time. I tried a Powder Brown not too long ago and that didn't go well. I have been told by a few people to try 5 or 6 instead of 4 to help with aggression. Don't really want so many though. We'll see...

Just looking for advice from both if you since you guys seem to be having success :)

Beautiful family you have there! So whats the secret to keeping the peace.....did you get the majority of them when they were smaller? or add a couple at a time? Please let us know as I have seen quite a few people that have had problems adding one fish at a time into a mature group like this.

Thanks
Brad

Your reef tank is awesome! I wish I could accomplish that. Looks like a really busy tank.

No his size doesn't bug me, my friend has a 12" one in his tank, that is beautiful, and that is what made us want one in the first place. However that being said, I've noticed that as he gets bigger he seems to stir up the other tangs every now and then. They sometimes will chase each other for a few seconds like they are in some sort of frenzy but then they all settle down quickly and act like nothing happened, and it's only every now and then (not to often) that they do this :noidea: no one seems to get really hurt or anything so I guess they'll be ok.

Mine used to do this until I basically started making food available almost all day long. Now they are fine and barely ever fight. Although my Hippo was out for my Powder Brown no matter what I did.
