I have a yellow tang i added about a week ago . Today i added a dwarf angel and the tang has been all over it . I have seen several attemps to hook the much smaller angel fish. Am I going to have to take my angel back or will everything be okay ? How long should I let this go on ?

that is the way the tang tells the others who's boss. if you have LR try moveing it around some that should also help. other wise it should calm down in a day or so

do they have rock to hang out in or hide?

yeah plenty of rock but every time the angel comes out the tang is on it. The tang will sometimes in a few laces follow the angel into some of the cracks in rockwork.

it means the tang has already established it's territory. which as i said moving rocks around will make it look diff. and his territory will be gone and they will both have a good chance but i would give it a week before taking the angel back.

Tangs should be one of the last fish addded but hes just showing who owns the tank. This should fade in a day or two.Just be sure he has good hiding places.

lol not a prob. Yellow Tangs can get very aggressive which is why most ppl put them last into the tank. but their are ways around it:D good luck
