tang help needed

[Joe Reefer]

Can you take a picture of the mystery tang?

Of course, it depends on what kind of Tang your mystery girl is... Assuming she is NOT a Naso...she's likely to ignore the juvenile Naso....but likely to treat the others badly.

However, she might be OK since the little guys have been in the tank longer... She'll be the new fish and I expect that she'll be less aggressive because of that.

Second part of that took the words right out of my mouth.

Thanks for your help, just confirmed what I was thinking. I will post a pic tonight of the mystery tang (if I can find a camera)... I got her from a friend when he sold all his livestock, and she is stunning, a zebra stipe pattern with blues and reds, almost looks like a discus. She only does it when she sees the color from the TV. Usually she is light grey with a verticle white stripe between the body and her back fin! Thanks again for your help, and I will try and post a pic for ID.

Cheers!

Sound more like and Angel than a tang.

I have six different tangs in my tank the best thing to do is to add them all at the same time, however if you can't do that, add the most aggressive one last.
