dansel

[tom88]

I have a dansel that is very aggressive towards my small blue tang 1-2''; At first, the yellow tang was aggressive to the small blue tang as well. But, I sent the yellow tang to a breeding cage for few hours and reintroduce it back to the tank. Ever since, the yellow tang is much more peaceful towards the blue tang.
Any ideas for the dansel? I am about to send my dansel back to the store.
Thanks

The damcel will most likely remain that way for that is there temperment and very common problem with them you may want to concider taking him back for he could kill other fish with this aggression

Thanks, what about the yellow tang? Do you think he will be aggressive again? So far, so good. But, not sure if the yellow tang will be aggressive.

If you ask me there is something about damsels that make other fish nervous even when the damsel is not displaying any particularly aggressive tendencies. Take him back to the store and switch him out for something else and I bet the hole tank will seem much more tranquil.
