Blue Tang vs. Spanish Hogfish

BdaSquid · 06/17/2008, 04:40 AM

I can't wait to get another specimen in the 30G. The spanish hogfish and the blue tang are growing fast. One of them wishes to be King...or Queen. They squabble often now. The hogfish has chipped the other's tail and threatens body blows with his mouth wide open. The tang flashing his tiny knife towards the hogfish and it backs off. It's a stick 'n' move encounter. The flamefish ignores them both. What next......

My spanish hogfish is very aggressive and almost killed my bluespot jawfish! I am now trying to get the hogfish out... i really love him and he's incredibly beautiful, but a bit too territorial in my tank...
