Tangs are like women, they fight over rocks. Biggest one usually wins.

More than one of the same species in tank will cause a territorial dispute. Good video though.

I've raised all the fish from babies...when they were young they did some serious damage. Now they are mostly putting on a show.
Sorry if I offended anyone...this is not the normal behavior. The rock is making them greedy.
have you considered removing the rock so they dont fight so much?

okay reefreak,i guess all my friends and lfs just have really friendly tangs

not a cool video, but i agree tangs will fight, it seems like you have a big enough tank but you need to find the problem why they are fighting...i have alot of large tangs that used to do similiar things. (i.e chase each other around) but once you find the problem they fight anymore..

Sorry I flamed, now it makes sense. Wen I added a new coral today my brand new fish, and the old ones went at it! Now it is entertaining, because we know that 1. its not normal behavior, 2. it will be relatively short lived.

good one! :hilarious. wow, i never really noticed that people actually cared for fish as they do dogs and other pets. to me there like swimming money and i dont want to lose it.

its a territorial fight. Who cares? Theyll stop. If you notice, they all look healthy. No harm done. Nice tank.

well then i guess these tangs that i never see fight are an exception
2 pics below, 1 of yellow tangs in the wild and the other of them in a aquarium. yellow tangs are very social fish. Fighting is a way to establish dominance status.
nice tank setup and some cool fish in there.

Tangs of the same shape should be fine if your tank is big enough. It's done all the time.
