Rabbitfish+Tang Question

dsaundry · #1 03-31-2008, 03:43 AM

Will Two different types of Rabbitfish get along? I have a Foxface in one tank and a Scribbled Rabbitfish in another. I would also like to know if a Sailfin Tang would have an issue if I was to add a Yellow Tang...

Thanks in advance for all the advise.

I just added a sailfin to my tank that has a yellow tang in it already. The yellow is the boss of the tank so he's putting the sailfin in it's place but i'm hoping they'll establish the hierarchy.

Yellows are one of the more aggresive surgeonfish...not the most but more than say a shy tomini tang

Lots of people keep rabbitfishes together, should be okay. Size of tank always matters in these types of situations, as does adequate hiding places etc.

I have 2 yellows and a sailfin with a scribbled rabbit. The tangs were all added at the same time and the 2 yellows act like best friends. The sailfin is busy trying to let them know who the boss is but for the most part the sailfin is ignored.
