Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

prepare a funeral. Zebramosa tend not to accept any other tankmates of the same family. They are just bastards. There is just not much you can do. rearranging the rock is just not feasable in your tank, nor is trying to catch them. Sorry. I hate to hear about that. Maybe get rid of the yellow tang altogether and try again.

Punks. I really thought they'd be able to get along in a tank this size. Catching either of them doesn't seem to be an option. The tank is just too big. I know, feel sorry for me, the tank is JUST TOO BIG!!

I decided I'm not even going to try to recover bodies in this tank. If Sailfin doesn't make it, the starfish will get a snack.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

I dont wanna feed bad advice.
My desjardini is sleightly larger than the new yellow
and quite a bit larger than the other two. and they do good.
There was a few lil face offs when i added the desjardini wih the two yellows but everything was fine after about 2 min.

I hate that your tangs are fighting biff that sucks.
I will be hoping for the best .

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

that is the only way I can think of it working. Just so you know, I added a purple AFTER I had placed in all other fish and it still killed three of my favorite fish (bastard). He was the same size tho. You will have better luck if you are adding a specimen that is smaller than the other zebramosa. I would look for a considerable difference, say three inches smaller. Many sailfin tangs around here are sold at about 6-7 inches. The average purple is 4 inches.

No sign of the sailfin all day today. We'll see if he comes out to eat. . This greatly upsets me.
