csrdph Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I have a regal tang (blue tang) in my 300 gal. I am thinking about adding another regal tang to this tank? Do you think this would be a problem? My original regal has been in my 300 gal for about 1.5 yrs. There is also a yellow tang and a mimic tang in this tank. Thanks for your thoughts!

ThePremiumAquarium Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 You never really know with tangs. Regal tangs are some of the kinder tangs and it shouldn't be a problem, but you never really know until you add the next one. One thing that might help is adding a couple at the same time. This will help with any dominance issues that may arrize. Also the use of a mirror to distract the original tang during aclimation of the new tang might help.

Jay Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I know my yellow tang will not tolerate ANY new fish in her tank. I have been bidding on a fish trap to catch her so I can trade her away but keep losing the auctions. I hate to get rid of her but I want a variety of fish and have had this yellow tang since just about the beginning of my saltwater tank keeping hobby. She has already chased 2 other fish to death. Good luck with your regal tang. I am going to get a blond naso tang for my tank if I can ever catch that yellow tang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
