Powder brown ?

[toky916]

Hey guys I was planing to add fish in a certain order.
But yesterday my gf bought me a powder brown tang.

Will this pose a problem if it's the first fish in my display ?

I was planing on adding copper band, leopard Wrass.

He's in my QT for now kinda faced with this issue.

I have one in my 300 gallon display . The most ruthless and dominant fish in my tank. Sorry for tapatalk pix.

I dislike the situation I'm put in. It's a gift And it's something I don't what to deal with stressing new tank members.

I had Powder browns and they were one of the less aggressive tangs, use mirrors when introducing other fish, we bought a stack of them at the dollar store...

Powder Brown can go either way. They will definitely not get along with any other of there tang genus, ie. Powder Blue. But I have my PB with 3 yellow tangs, Regal Blue, Coral Beauty and my trio of clowns. Shows no aggression towards anyone. He is a cool fish with lots of personality. But if I had the decision to start over I would not choose him again. The powders seem to get Ich faster than any toher tang. Its pretty bad when my Powder Brown can have an ich outbreak while the regal blue and everyone else stays perfectly healthy. Other than that he is one of my favorite fish due to his personality. But if your gonna keep him leave him in QT for at least 30 days. Mine has gone back to QT twice for a 30 day run. He gets these little white worms that start out looking like ich and even after copper and Prazi he seems to clear up and be fine until something stresses him out and he just starts his thing again.

I just added a Powder Brown, I had no problem at all. And gets along with all my other fish which are all in similar size. So far so good.

[SWBeginer]

all depends on your tank size.

Not just for Ich I have a contact that sells prepackage dose

I bought 10grams for $15 shipped
That makes about 120gal with 60mg per gal recommend dose for QT for 28 days.
That includes water change I bought a scale also.
