My newest addition: Sohal Tang.
Well picked up my newest addition to my 210 aggressive tank today.Had to drive a hour and a half one way.But for a 7 inch sohal tang for $50.00, i could not beat it.He said it was super aggressive and picked on a 12 inch grouper and a large eel,but has been a model fish since putting him in.It started eating his corals so now it is mine.Been wanting one for a while just did not want to pay what they are going for.

lol that was quick. Wow what an awesome tank. What kind of puffer is the big gray guy with white spots? He's pretty B/A.
Also how big are some of your fish just for sense of scale purposes? |

Looks like a guinea fowler. Very nice tank, always enjoy seeing pics of your tank triggerfreak. I say give it some time, that sohal WILL own your tank. I've heard of stories of sohals beating up on clown and queen trigs double their size. We'll see, hope it works out for ya.

Great tank! What type of skimmer are you using for that tank? What do you feed them?

Yeah i have heard of all the risks with the sohol tangs.But i have the same risks with my queen trigger and a few others.And i have only had 1 problem with the queen and another fish and he came out and went back into another tank.And if i do have any problems, he will come out.

That's a lot of fish for one 210. I have a 200 and my fish are stressed out with half that many fish.

Actually it is not that hard.I use a mag float on 3 sides of the tank once a week.And i do a 40 gallon water change once a month.The sand stays clean because the puffer and the queen trigger blow in the sand all the time.And the tangs take care of the algae that gets on the rocks.And onec a month when i do my water change i scrub everything down and scrape the back wall and overflowes.

Yeah i really don't think so.I like to have alot of fish and as for stress.Very little.I make sure i feed the crap out of the tank to keep aggression and stress down.There is a little aggression, mainley between the niger and durgeon but that is it.

What are your water params? I have the same skimmer and I know it won't cut it. Everything does look very good and healthy, hope it stays that way with the addition of the sohal.
