Hi every one

today i bought a juv emperor angel and i have a purple tang in the tank for a month and the purple tabg cant go in the other four tanks because i have placed it in all the tanks and it gets bulled of the other tangs but it keeps chaseing that emperor angel and have rearanged all the live rock is there anything else i can do to stop this

try a mirror to take the tangs attention away. Only works on some fish. You could turn the lights out. Or wait it out a little and hope its just them establishing whos boss

Have u got a sump?

If so try putting the tang in the sump for a day or two

hi

2 external filters in each tank do have a qt with a really high nitrate of 160 and done 3 water changes

catch the tang
put him in time out in the bucket for a bit
5-20 minutes

or catch him
put him in a container with holes in it and just leave it in the tank for a few hours

i've seen it works with mean achilles tangs

using egg crate to seperate them in the tank for a few days until the aggression subsides usally works.
