Tang ?

[hawkfish21]

My 135 currently has two Tangs, a 4" Purple & a 3" Hippo. I put a 2" Kole Tang in my 55 a couple of months back. I would like to add the Kole Tang to my 135. Any ideas to avoid fighting? I do need to rearrange some rocks in my 135. Would this help the aggression? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

the only way to figure out if theres any agresion is to put him in & see, the purple tang is the one I I would watch out for.

The Purple Tang has never acted too aggressive with any other new additions. I'll try it & see. Thanks.

Koles are pretty hardy and will probably hold his own. My kole is the only one who hastles any newbies in my tank.

Thats how it is in my tank.

I had a yellow and two false percs in my tank, and they had bonded so well that when I added a hippo the three of them ganged up on him/her. I rearranged rocks, darkened the tank, and no dice; they had decided this interloper was not welcome (since then I had to remove the yellow who was also bullying an orchid dottyback and trying to starve the poor fish). Let us know what happens!

Well, I released the Kole tonight. After a five-minute beating from the Purple Tang, everyone get's along. The Hippo completely ignored him.
