Yellow Scopas become the most wanted

[ClownNut]

well in my tank,all my tangs want a kick some @$$, LOL. just release it from the holding box today(during feeding time), my pack of lions picking on this poor scopas, they take turns to "guard" the scopas from eating while others eat, Totally unexpected. i thought let it go out during the feeding will take some aggregation off the scopas...lights off for today, hope the tangs will take it easy on the scopas tomorrow...

What size is the display tank? Purple tang and sailfin are already in there which they especially won't like the scopas.

150G(32"W), looking for 180 or 240 to upgrade to, the blue tang and powder brown would love a 6 or 8' tank with some tunzes.
the purple tang used to be the most aggressive one, now the powder brown seem taken his place in the tank.
the purple tang more interested in my CCB and food than anything else.
Blue tang taking interested in my black saddleback female, careless about anything else.
sailfin and kole tang kinda lay back just try to check out the new comer no aggregation behavor so far.

When I put my yellow tang and powder brown tang in together, the yellow would nonstop harrase the powder brown. What I had to do was separate the yellow tang from the powder brown using eggcrate in the tank. In 1 week, the two could look at each other through the ggcrate and no flaring/backing up into the eggcrate with the tail. You could try that with your scopas. Try separating your scopas from the others for a week so they all calm down. Maybe the tank is too small for all of the tangs, I'm not sure on how many you can stock, but you have 6 tangs then? I would go for the 240 instead of the 180 if you can.

Your fish store should be able to order one in.

Ive been looking at a nice 8 foot 240g long from glass cages for a couple of months. I will end up getting that in a year. I just got my 125 about 6 months ago and already want to upgrade. The tank is 96x24x25 for $590.
