Now for the sailfin and yellow combo ~ I take it that the sailfin is alot smaller than the yellow?

Was the sailfin added to the tank at lights out.?

I have seen alot less aggression by adding livestock ( other than the damsels) when the lights go out

The sailfin is quite a bit smaller than the yellow tang. I added them after lights out. They were getting along at first, but a few hours Tangy started being ugly.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

If it isnt Real Nasty leave em be, the yellow tang is just showing that it was there first, Slight jabs with tail spike are normal and will stop over time,

I here alot of bad things about yellows. man I must have got real lucky I love em ( hence I have 3 )

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

you know they are going to be trouble if they swim next to the other tang and batter them with their scalpel. Chasing is normal and not really problem. It is the along-side the other fish rapings that will kill them. I have seen it more times than I care to. Be your own judge, but the along-side, neck and neck lashings will not take long to kill the sailfin.

Put up pics of em later when lights are on. I like the black fish with the blue stripes in DrMarco's pic of the month. Whats that one called Marco?

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

Hmm well the sailfin emerged once I got home from my movie. It's top fin is shredded to hell.

I highly doubt I'll be able to catch either one of them in this tank. And no way am I removing 500 lbs of live rock...

Any ideas?
