TheJDB Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I think my yellow tang is killing other fish. I have had him for about 2 years now along with a clown fish. I used to have a yellow damsel, yellow taled blue damsel, and 4 stripe damsel also. over the course of the last year I lost all but the tang and clown. I though it was the green starfish I added. So I put the starfish in the fuge. I then tried to add a damsel to the tank and found him dead 3 weeks later. Didn't now why. A few weeks ago I added a rayal gramma. I was quite pissed the other day when I found him dead also. I havn't seen my tang kill any fish yet but could he be the one that is doing this? I don't think anything else in my tank could kill a fish. Link to comment
TheJDB Posted September 13, 2004 Author Share Posted September 13, 2004 55 gallon tank over 75 lbls live rock. Lots of spots to hide. Link to comment
TheJDB Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Do you think If I introduced about 4 or 5 yellow tailed damsels it would reduce the agression level of the tang? Link to comment
footbag Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 a 55g is very small for a tang. Adding 4 or 5 damsels would likely stress the tang. Do you really want 4 or 5 yellow damsels? Link to comment
TheJDB Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 I would really like to add more fish but I don't want to keep adding one $$$ fish a month and have the tang kill them. I would love to see more color in the tank and I think a few yellow tailed blue damsels would be great, cheap, and hardy. Plus I have a 10gal sump and 3 gal fuge and ok skimmer so I could def handle the load. I just want to know if the tang will try to kill them all. I heard that in some cases adding 4 or 5 fish lowers agression instead of just one. Link to comment
