Agressive Fish?


my dad has a 300 gallon aquarium. we had a naso tang and he was the biggest of the tangs we had. he died after lving a long life. Then we got a yellow tang about 5 inches. In the tank before we had the yellow tang with the naso there was a blue hippo, sailfin red sea, purple,kolt tangs. After about a month we purchased a blonde naso and introduced him to the tank about 5 inches.

All the tangs or surgonfishes do not bother him but the yellow seems to be a dominate aggressor.

How long will this go on and any comments.

In my experience yellow tangs are social spazzes. They're just skitzoid (yes that's a technical term) and I agree, he needs to be shown who's boss and then I'm sure he'll be fine. He doesn't mean any harm, he's just trying to bully the new guy. But it is annoying.
