6:00 You can add acanthurus group tang together Rule of thumb : put 2-3 or more together at the same time So none of them are established before, as these fishes are highly territorial once established, also having other large fishes of similar temperment may help to keep and divide the aggression level down Lol I can't even keep my power blue with my blue tang in my 5 feet tank . Both were introduced together, it was good and well for months .. Then suddenly they powder blue started attacking my blue tang constantly!! So I have to divide them , and finally rehome the powder blue!!! Note : I only have powder blue, blue tang and few clownfish that time .

Everything you say about the powder blue is so spot on, I have to rehome mine because it was attacking my copperband

Appreciate the support my friend 💪 sorry you have to rehouse yours, hate to watch fish beat up on other prized fish!

I’m not a saltwater hobby enthusiast by any means, but the powder blue tang has always been a favorite saltwater fish of mine.

Absolutely 💪

We have a 30+ year old 125G acrylic tank that I brought back from Japan when I was in the Air Force. So a Japan Surgeon fish was a must :). Took our LFS about a month to get one for us. Went to pick it up and noticed that it was flashing :(. But it looked healthy and was eating like a pig so we brought it home. We QT everything wet, CUC, coral and even liverock before it goes into our DT. After being in QT for 60 days, we added the powder brown and it's been healthy with our other tangs, yellow, purple and Desjardini for over two years. Setting up an 96" 310G and plan to add an Achilles when everyone goes into the new tank :).

So sorry about that! These guys are tricky

I would recommend an acclamation box for any introduction but especially tangs, I have 17 tangs in a single tank including a number of acanthurus tangs in the same tank, a powder blue, achillies, convict and a dussumieri so they can be kept together QT and tank size is key.

Will do! And thank you 🙏

I have to sell my power blue Because it killed my copperband butterflyfish Bullied my blue tang so much , it almost stopped eating Even after introduction of 7 large new fish ( including tang , foxface , angels ) in hope to divide aggression - it wouldn't stop to be tank boss and harassing So It was a must go fish . Such a shame for such a bold and beautiful fish ❤❤ u can watch my channel to get a view of the beauty Lesson I learn: never add acanthus group fishes fish Mainly power blue, powder brown , sohal tang , etc . They should be introduced last !! Less aggressive fishes should established their territory first
