Adding my last fish...Tang

OffRoad322 · 11/20/2018, 07:05 PM

Hi All,
Thinking of adding either a Yellow Eye Kole Tang or Flame Fin Tang in the next few months. This will be my last fish..as I've read this is the best order to add the tang last.

I currently have...mostly non-aggressive fish. How do I safely introduce the tang? Acclimation box?

- One Spot Foxface
- Blue Spot Puffer
- 2 Clowns
- Firefish
- Diamond Goby
- Melanurus wrasse

I would be surprised if any of your current fish give the new kole/tomini any trouble.

The foxface, maybe if it's large, but probably not.

I was more worried that the Tang might be scared and hurt the other fish.

I love the Yellow Eye Kole tangs. Not to big and mine has never shown aggression to any fish except other tangs and even then nothing terrible. I also have a Melanurus wrasse, beautiful fish. I also have a Magnificent Foxface. It is the largest and least aggressive. I think they were all my "last fish" but I have had so may last ones I can't remember them all!.
