I just added a juvenile French Angelfish to my 125 gal FOWLR tank after 5 weeks quarantine. He's about 2.5 inches and very healthy. The dominant inhabitants are 2 Heniochus Butterflies who are about 3.5 inches each and seem to rule the tank. I also have a Klein's Butterfly and a small Yellow Tang that's only slightly larger than the French. I have always considered the YT as a runt since he has stayed small and seems so subservient to the much larger Butterflies. I added the French in the dark last night after everyone was fed and after I moved around some rock and added some decoarations to confuse everyone about their territory. Today, the French is swimming all throughout the water column and seems to be getting along wither everyone, except the Tang. The Tang seems to be spending a lot of time near his sleeping area and whenever the French is in proximity the Tang swims over and flicks his tail blade at the French. He also does this when they are near each other in other parts of the tank.I don't see anything that looks like a real fight and I don't see any evidence of any injury to the French, but I am concerned. Is this just posturing by the Tang or do I have a real problem on my hands. Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks
