I just purchased a Sailfin Tang, but, not working out to good with my Powder Blue. I figured these two could be mixed. Different body styles and color, but apparently they are not going to get along. The Power Blue (which normally peacefull) went nuts. Swimming around the Sailfin and biting it. Question; would rearranging rocks, and or adding more rock help the situation, Or is this something that they are programmed to do, and this is just the way it is. I have the Sailfin in my QT tank right now, but he is going to get way too big for that 20 gallon tank. Sailfin is about 2" long, fins spread probably about 6" tall. Powder Blue is all of 7" long and thick. So, definently not an even fight (not that I want a fight), but, I would like to see if any have mixed and had any luck. I know tangs will get along. I have seen 4 or 5 different types in a tank. I have a 90 gallon main tank.

I dont think so but you can try. The sailfin tang doesnt get along with other tangs the powder doesnt do well with other tangs either so not a good stocked tank. Te sailfin tang needs a one hundred twentyfive gallon tank when fully grown. It would be best if one goes.

I have read that rearranging the rock can help. Will it in this case?? Who knows...but it's worth a shot.
