| Tunicate   | Yellow Tang aggressive - towards RBTA? I just picked up a georgeous Rose BTA today and after a legthly drip acclimation process I put him in the tank. Within a couple of hours I noticed that the yellow tang was hanging out around the RBTA alot and then I noticed that it was starting to get aggressive towards it. After the first swipe of the tail the tang bolted like he'd been shocked. And I thought that was going to be it - Old yella had learned its lesson. Not so as it turned out. The tang is constantly harrassing the poor thing and it is now hiding in a hole in the back of the tank. The Tang still is going down the hole it is hiding in and harrassing it some more. This seems to be very odd to me. This particular Tang is usually a very peaceful fish and has never harassed any other fish that I have had. Has anybody else heard of this? This was the last thing that I expected to happen. |
