Savage chocolate tang
This tang is absolutely savage. Any new introduction is harrassed big time. Just added another bangaii to the tank and the other cardinal is checking it out. All good so far.. My tang is very aggressive and darting around the tank and posturing?!! I mean this is nuts. Anyway I think it will calm down but I never expected this. Does anyone have this experience with a lemon peel mimic? Thanks

This may sound silly buy I have often put mean/troublesome fish in time out for a bit....meaning in net or a small bucket....most times for whatever reason, whenever they are released they somehow know how to play nice....good luck

75 gallon and everything seems calm at the moment. The cardinals are hanging out together so I'm thrilled with this. Male/female I'm sure. Was watching how they got on last night and all went excellent. Hoping this continues. Thanks

A young girl here who just got in the hobby somehow managed to pick up 2 cardinals and one happened to be carrying eggs and she was rewarded with some fry.She and the store had no idea. She was extremely lucky and only had her very first saltwater tank set up a couple of months!!

Here's my scenario. Lfs employee(a fish fanatic-50 tanks, 3 of which are saltwater) picked out for me what he thought would be a female about 3 weeks ago. He told me he has a male that is in its own tank at home because it was getting beaten up by another male. He said I could have that fish and once it's looking better he would bring it up to me. That was last night and we both feel that they are M/F. Crossing fingers ofcourse. Doesn't hurt getting free fish too!!!!!! |

Yes when I introduced a bi color blenny and cardinal 3 weeks ago he went ballistic. Calmed down after a couple of days. Still darts at the blenny now and then. All good today since he went crazy last night. I find this odd with this fish, just didn't expect it.
Friendly with me, as I feed him nori by hand sometimes. |
