Peng Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Introduced a H. Diphreutes yesterday and the powder blue went crazy on it. It was the most violent fish chasing I've ever seen. It was so aggressive, and constantly using its scalpel to hurt the bannerfish. The bannerfish has been hiding all the time except for when the lights are off. I'm currently considering the mirror trick. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchell Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 How big is the tank? Try rearranging the rocks. Depending on the size of tank that might help. A Bannerfish and Tang probably don't make the best tank mates to begin with. And adding the peaceful Bannerfish after the Tang just makes the situation worse. If the situation doesn't get better in the next couple days expect to lose the Bannerfish, unless you remove one of the two fish involved. I haven't had great luck using a mirror, but I've seen others have success with it, so it's definitely worth a shot. Good luck! Hopefully everyone starts getting along soon!

I already returned the fish... It decided to eat corals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsonmfg Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 More than likely the powder would of killed it anyways... Powder Blues are definitely better left as one of your last fish additions, once settled they're usually pretty aggressive towards any new tank mate.
