edwing206 · 12/27/2006, 12:52 AM

wow that is crazy. do they always fight that much? how big is the tank?
oh, and nice tank btw

reefshadow · 12/27/2006, 02:11 AM

Lol, not sure whether to be amused or dismayed. Actually doesn't look like they are doing any damage, just alot of feinting. Must be stressfull for the target though. Weird that it is always the one going after the other with at least 4 tangs in there.

I love that song, one of my faves to play on Guitar Hero, lol.

Yeah, Tangs can easily rip open each other's guts, esp the yellow tangs (they are so tall and thin that theres not alot of protection there). If one were to try stabbing the other... it would get ugly fast.

Lev F. · 12/27/2006, 07:26 AM

It was funny how the two tangs are about 3 or 4 inches apart eying each other and then the mandarin swims in, like a ref. And how the small clown tang chased the flame angel, but then the flame chased him back.

nyvp · 12/27/2006, 09:37 AM

very funny how long have they been in tank?

snslarison · 12/27/2006, 10:13 AM

Dude its like a riot in there! The Maroon Clown is chasing fish around, the clown tang and the flame angel are going at it and the tangs are batteling it out. Its a free for all. Every man for himself!

BTW, I think one of those tangs will die if you dont remove one. Also, IMO if you leave the remaining two in the tank they will probably fight as well until there is just one.

Your fish need some serious counseling.

All that fighting can easily lead to an ick infestation. Its entertaining to watch but you should really do something about it.

Well of course dude, you're playing Motorhead!
You KNOW that's always going to start a mosh pit!

tkeracer619 · 12/27/2006, 11:47 AM

yeah when the surgeon comes out in the tang you are gonna have a dead fish.

acrylic_300 · 12/27/2006, 01:38 PM

They are fighting over this new live rock I put in...all fights revolve around it....its about a 10 gal area in a 300 gal tank.

I've raised all the fish from babies...when they were young they did some serious damage. Now they are mostly putting on a show.

Sorry if I offended anyone...this is not the normal behavior. The rock is making them greedy.

I don't know what is sweeter, the fish drama, of Ace of Spades playing!

dukes707 · 12/27/2006, 02:28 PM
