It's best to use some kind of acclimation box to acclimate new fish. The box can be built out of some acrylic or egg crate. Some people even use egg crate to divide their tanks to acclimate new fish. Some people say moving the rock around work for them. Not many people can/want to move their rock around. Good luck. |
with tangs there is almost always a period of fighting.....it usually calms down after a few days.....if it doesnt calm down, then you have a problem.....I tried the dividing the tank thing recently and it didnt work for me....the new fish still got harassed after I removed the divider

at the very least turn the lights off and feed the fish when you introduce a new tank mate.

Even if they get along now your Tangs will both outgrow the tank and fight eventually. Plan for an upgrade
