tang question

[msfishtank]

I know ive been asking a whole bunch of questions.. but i am very new to this sorry.. hehe
I have three yellow tangs in my tank, and they are doing great. But, one of the tangs is more territorial than the other two I guess.. he keeps chasing the others and sometimes he wont let them eat in peace, because he'll chase them around. Is this normal? He won't harm them right?

tangs can be agressive, depends on the fish and what size tank ,you have three of them in..He can chase them til they get soo stressed that they get sick and die from the stress.Even in a very large tank, you can have problems with aggresssion.I would take the one doing the chasing out but then you will have two and I have heard that sometimes causes problems. that is why lots of times they say one species of tang per tank.Maybe return 2 yellows and get a different tank.Good luck :joy:

Thanks...oh well, theyve been in there for a day, maybe I'll take two out, and take the crazy one back, and then just take another one and add them both back... I have a 175 gal. tank, but the tangs are really small. This tang is a bully, he just bothers the other two too much...
