Best way to add new fish to your tank?

[Reefer Rob]

3 1/2 hours and still no entertainment?

Perhaps and new larger tank will keep them all happy

Get it eating first in the nano or the sump of the 120g for a week or two. Once it is accustomed to the water and food, put it back into the main tank. It will get attack but shouldnt be more than a couple of hours. After the initial beating to sort out the pecking order, everyone should fall into their places. This has worked for me with almost all types of fish. Make sure you don't have a weak heart if you plan on watching the drama play out.

Fact : Your tank is not big enough for that many tangs

Especially with a clown tang, which is known for being aggressive

Try keeping your purple in an acclimation tank floating at the top (think breeder trap but bigger) for a couple of days at least. It will let the others get used to him with shanking him.
