IS this one from J&L? What were they feeding it - I understand that's the tricky part? Some aggression is normal (you don't give details), and you could mix the tank up a bit, sure.

I picked up an Indian Ocean import just yesterday, and after some sparring last night, the Naso Tang is content just being obnoxious now. I hope to provide some better information soon.

(Bob - don't know how much better a Flagfin Angel will do, but I guess we all live on the edge from time to time, and hope for the best.

Maybe we will both buck the trend. My new fish is very calm, now picking at the rockwork he has examined so carefully.
