two fish a fightin

[Linda]

I got a Niger Trigger. I have had a Naso for awhile. The naso is being a real bully to the Niger. I moved rock to give the Niger a good place to hide out, but the worst happens when I turn the lights off, so I turn them back on....the naso won't stop being a stinker.......any suggestions. Will this stop? I haven't had this problem before. (Except when my Lion ate my other fish...but that's another story for another day... ) oops sorry this is posted twice and I can't get one off. geez.........
Thank you.

it's probably not going to stop. Might get a little better...


always add the lest aggressive fish first. Adding less agressive fish AFTER an agressive fish has already established it's territory yields this kind of result.

One thing you can do to try to stop it is rearrage the tank. Moving the rock work around resets the playing field. The Naso Tang will have lost his safe spot, and it would put them both on even ground.

Keep in mind, the side affect to this will be additional stress to both fish...so make sure to keep a REALLY close eye on the tank. Try to ruduce any swings in Temp, pH, and salinity.

hope that helps, and keep us posted!
