When I worked at the fish store and if we have a loyal or previous customer that wants multiple tangs, we would put some from fresh shipments together in the tanks and see if they get along then sell them together. We've been very successful with this method.

Ive had great luck mixing tangs as well. The mirror trick has always worked the best. My last 115 gallon had a purple, blonde naso, salfin, powder blue and brown. Powder blue and purple took the longest to get along but were also fighting for the top tang position of the tank. Great video.

All of your points are spot on mate. One thing to expand on is tank volume. The larger the tank, coupled with rock work and refuge is crucial to keep multiple species of tangs. If the tank is too small, think of it as a prison of sorts, and riots and chaos will certainly ensue. Great video-cheers!
@BlueCarbonReefing6 жыл бұрын
Good video. I am sure it is implied and I saw it in your video but using multiple feeding clips can help reduce the aggression as well. Especially when one fish is preventing another from grazing on it.

Most of my tanks have only one tang, although i have have sucess with a dejardini and powder brown together, they were the best of buds, hanging out together all the time. The brown was added later as a juvinile when dejardini was about 4". That was until an ich outbreak, the brown is just more susceptible, been in and out of QT with multiple issues after being moved back into other tanks. His original home I'm sure is still infected, as we all know, it just doesn't go away, but dejardini and tankmates haven't shown any signs since the original outbreak. Meanwhile, next week i will be putting the brown into a different tank, really hoping all is well this time, poor guy has been in and out of QT for so long now. Also next week, i am adding a juv blue hippo into a 90, with an adolescent atlantic blue already there. Both blue hippo and flame angel have been in new fish QT, for over a month and are ready to be introduced. (Both commonly wanted fish, and my first of each type, strange i haven't had them yet, despite the amount of fish and tanks i keep. I will be trying the lights off approach, to minimize aggression. Thank you for the helpful advise. I really don't forsee a problem, being they are both young, the hippo is smaller, and there are plenty of other tankmates.
@crazwolf98255 жыл бұрын
Update, It went well, for a few days the atlanic blue tried to threaten the small blur hippo, but the hippo stood its ground, never really any contact, just motioning towards quickly. As of now the blue hippo has an entourage, he has 2 yellow tail damsels (coulpe of my first fish almost 4.5 years ago) following him around. I think because of the similar colors. They are all the same size now, but will look funny, and kinda kewl when the tang gets larger.

If I was to add any new fish to my aquarium a.k.a "Court", I tend to do a quick prep and add additional beneficial bacteria since the tank might go into an ammonia spike and I usually add enough beneficial bacteria that is listed on the bottle but instead of per gallon, I add for every single fish that are going in so the bacteria population can increase and be sufficient for all new arrivals.
