Go
Well, everytime my powder tang was chasing my clown tang, i tap the glass in the hope that he understands (i know they are fish not dog but hey worth a try). After keep doing that, now they seems fine now. Some screenshot as they get close to each other
Returning the fish to LFS would be the last resource, It is fun to try out all other options. Part of learning anyway :-) Thank you for all useful opinions and knowledge. Cheers ________ Uggs Last edited by Coleus; 04-30-2011 at 05:10 AM.

Why Jason?
!. He has problems right now. 2. There is a very high likelyhood that the clown will die because they success rate is poor. 3. If it does survive, the clown, which is one of the most vicious tangs, will become dominant and will attack any new tangs the reefers puts in the tank. 4. I directed him to the best website that sets out which tangs are good and which are bad.

tangs
Well here goes nothing. I have had two clown tangs in my tanks. The first for almost 2 years with a yellow tang a bristle tooth, Vlamingi and naso I had no ongoing aggression between these tangs after the initial introductions. I have know doubt that I would still have them all if it had not been for my tank springing a leak and draining in the middle of the night, oh did that suck!
Now to the present. Powder blue, Clown, Red Sea sailfin, Regal, Convict, Red Sea bristle tooth and an Orange shoulder all live together for the most part peacefully. Im no expert but I keep my tank well fed, I have lots of rock with crevises and arches so there are lots of visual barriers and every tang has his own place to sleep. The only two that seem to show any aggression to each other are the Orange shoulder and the Powder Blue and only minor squabbles once and a while. These were the first two in the tank. It can be done. Good luck! Keith. A good skimmer is a must! Tangs poop alot, and alot of tangs well...

Another thing about this hobby is that there's always exceptions to the rules :-)
Nice to see that someone was able to successfully keep these clowns. I've eyed them for a while at the fish stores but all the ones that I have ever seen were always scared crapless and swimming around frantically from other fish in their tanks and weren't eating anything. If the powder brown does settle down and the clown is eating then it sounds like you might have good odds in your favour. Sounds like the clown tang could challenge the powder brown once the clown started to feel more comfortable. Good luck and let us know how you make out.

Either those are small tangs or that's one huge damsel
 Hope everything works out for the best... I have also heard that clown tangs are vicious, and should be the last tang put in the tank.
