Ok so I had the blue tang for 8 months. For some reason as of only a few months ago he started to pick on other fish.

6line wrass, Maroon Clown and a yellowhead jawfish.

The Maroon is getting hit the most. However I have 2 cardinal fish that are good. No missing fins...

The Tang is 3 1/2 inches and the others are from 2 1/2 to 3 inches.


I thought they are a peaceful fish?

Any input would be nice. Also there all very well fed.

maybe its because you have them all in a 65 gallon tank.

No
Sometimes they can be nasty. Have you seen it attack the other fish? Do you have any crabs in the aquarium?

tangs will become aggressive in confined areas. you might try feeding him more. this will help keep his aggression down. Are you feeding him his nori?

I agree with this. Also, he will become the biggest fish in the tank, and he is showing who is boss.
