It looks like he's getting the crap beat out of him. I assume the regal tang was in there first?

You're kind of in a pickle here. I would recommend you remove that tang and isolate it in its own tank, however, I don't know if the tang would survive the stress of moving and being caught. Hopefully someone else will chime in with something constructive.

are u kidding me? a 29g tank and a regal tang and yellow tang in there? no wonder hes torn hes obvisouly getting beat up since ur tank is TOO SMALL for both of those tangs. I wouldnt even put 1 yellow tang in a tank of your size! yellow tang needs a tank atleast 4' wide so they can swim and be happy.

It might work for awhile when the Tangs are small but most Tangs will get big and territorial. I would guess that the regal is beating on the yellow as well since it feels the yellow tang is in its space all the time. Tangs also enjoy swimming. Which is why most people reccommend a tank at least 6 feet long. If it were me Id look into upgrading the tank size if you want to keep Tangs longterm, or at the very least removing one of the Tangs you have now.


Welcome to Canreef by the way!!!

I agree with the others above me. He is getting picked on BAD! If you need to get him out of the tank temporarily i have a 75 gallon that could give him some time to heal.

In the long run he will need more then a 29 as will your other tang. They both required alot of room to move around. Sorry to say but your tank just isnt large enough.
