Odds are it isn't going to get better. Rearrange the rockwork or put the offenders into QT for a while. Sort of a time out for them. I had to do the same with my Yellow and Powder brown after a full attack of my Desjardini and Mandarin. They went from a 210 to a 29 and will stay there for a few weeks to learn some manners.

I recently had the same problem with a purple and powder brown. Unfortunately I had to take the PB out before it was killed.
However, I have heard success with taking the aggressor out for a week (put it in a different tank) and then return it.

 One of them will probably end up injured or dead. Last edited by SlowCobra; 09/23/2007 at 10:50 PM. |

I would second the recommendation for rearranging the aquascaping. It will make the aggressor slightly less territorial since his "home" is now different. Being that you have a 180 gallon tank (I have one of those myself), that's MORE than enough room for 2 tangs (especially two tangs that aren't the same in color or body shape).
