I am guessing you have him in the 140g in your signature which should be okay as far as size goes. Did you add the PBT before or after the Sailfin? Unfortunately powder blues can be extremely aggressive and may target any fish that is similar looking or that he just feels like beating on. If he is just chasing the angel then you might give it some time but if he is trying to spur him then you might want to think about removing one of them. I have a PBT also and he has been a model citizen so far but I keep a very close eye one him. Good luck.

my tang used to nip at everything. until i added nori paper on a clip. i also dipped in in garlic to entice it over to the clip. dont know about it nipping at other fish though. but give it a try. its cheap

i was crushing it up for awile, and rubbing the nori paper over the crused garlic and juice. this didnt seem too efficient for myself (preparing) but it did seem to help the tang. i broke down and bought the KENT stuff and it is soooo much stronger. in fact, i store it in the garage. i think they sell garlic extract at the grocery store tho, and maybe minced garlic might work? but i didnt want to try for fear of adding preservatives to my tank. that thought seemes bunk once i saw the kent stuff also had preservs.
