All my fish are dead...

[terryp01]

They key to mixing zebrasomas is to add them in reverse order of aggressiveness. Tangs are my favorite fish and I have seven in my 180 gallon tank.

Kole tangs, small ones, are the least aggressive tang in my experience (other than the regal/i.o. blue/hippo, whatever you call it).

The most aggressive tangs are sohal, powder blues and (my favorite) dussumieri. (again, imo).

Never only have two tangs in a tank, there must be one (1), three or more. Having only two in one tank will almost mean certain death for the least aggressive one. I have had problems in the past with even cross species if the least aggressive was added last.

Again, QUARANTINE, QUARANTINE, QUARANTINE. Anyone that gets a fish from me, I suggest they quarantine it. Regardless of how well you know the person and their tank it is best to quarantine. The fish is adjusted to their tank and any parasites/diseases that may be present. Adding them to your tank my introduce the new parasite/disease.

Better safe than broke and unhappy.
