    AGGRESSIVE POWDER BLUE

    ...i was told that the powder blue was only aggressive towards other tangs and with fish that have a similar body. so i was thinking that a copperband butterfly (he's bigger than the powder), would be okay. i will say, that the powder has calmed down in the last few hours. i mean, he hasn't...

    AGGRESSIVE POWDER BLUE

    ...whoever told you that). A "true Acanthurus tang" by definition, makes them one of the more aggressive tangs.... I think threads titled "aggressive powder blue" on all the different reef/fish forums on the internet, falls just behind "Why is my yellow tang beating up my Copperband" in...

    tangs and foxface.....

    The copperband with a YT MAY work well - depending on the paticular YT you get. They are a VERY territorial fish, and known for being mean. I'd add the YT last AND get one that is smaller than the butterfly at the time of addition. Also 40-50# in a 90g might be on the light side, it might be...

    Opinions needed...

    ...up on camera. Doesn't help that I'm only using the camera on my iPhone. I can't wait to get a female so his colors really pop. I love my Copperband. So peaceful. I'm lucky, never has shown any interest in corals and has ate frozen from day one. Quote: Originally Posted by Slice Gorgeous...

I am one of those people that truly believes that if you feed good quality foods and a good mixture to...

    What fish in a reef?

    Wow---must be beautiful! Is the copperband reef safe? Yes, my Copperband is safe. The only time he's given me any type of issue is when trying to feed corals, he likes to rip the food out of my acans mouths. All my fish are reef safe. My Flame is the only issue, she eats Duncans and nothing...
