    Tangs keep dying in Quarantine

    Have you ever successfully kept a tang in it? Other fish can handle it fine. Personally i would use a 20L, get a new sponge filter and leave it in your dt for a month or 2. Then put it in your qt

    Tangs keep dying in Quarantine

    A few things. 1- a 10gal is too small for a tang. It will cause a huge amount of stress being cramped. 2- a qt does need to be cycled, your sponge filter will load up w bacteria but only if its continually run. 3- kind of touches on 1, tangs need lots of oxygen so just a sponge in a small 10 gal...

    Eel aggression

    Its now her territory so aggression is normal. You don't hear of many people mixing eels. Generally its 1 per tank. Some will eat other eels. Your best bet is prob to return the new one
