Within a few days your tang should have become used to the other inhabitants. Has the dottyback been chasing it?
Tiny regals are skitterish. Maybe adding another live rock that has a place for it to hide will help. Sometimes new reefers approach the tank frequently searching for the new addition and unwittingly stress the fish. If you are doing this, stay your distance until the tang gets used to you approaching the tank and when you do feed and she will get the idea. (If she is one of those tiny ones you need to feed her a little but feed often and see she is getting some. Merry Christmas Wayne Ryan |

Hey Wayne,
Well he's not teeny tiny but he's small about 2in I kinda measured him well he was out eating lol. But no non of my fish chase him at all, I have a VERY unusally calm and peaceful orchid dotty, she never harasses anyone even when they GO IN HER CAVE lol as my lovely lil percs, like to go in and out of the shell the dottyback lives in. She never really cares. Kinda strange as others I've seen are extremely territorial. So no one is chasing or harrassing my Blue tang, I want to put some more LR in, I guess the more hiding places he has maybe the more secure he'll feel and come out more. He's such a beautiful blue tang, so nice and thick and bright, if I could get a picture I'd post it. I really appreciate all the advice thank you, Merry Christmas, Jennifer Quote:

my blue tang was about 1 inch when I got it which is smaller than my blue eyed cardinals when it first went in it hid for about a day, when my hand goes in it hides in between the acropora trying to blend in like one of the branches, so cute. It constanly grazes on the rocks with my golden rabbit fish and thinks the rabbit fish is his wife following it everywhere around the tank. It takes mysis no problem even when he was small but now has tripled in size in less then a month. I have always loved this tang however thought they were hard to keep because they got ich easier and only ate meaty foods, however mine only had ich for 3 days and eats algae aswell as gut packed mysis I try to feed my reef every other day and alot.
good luck with your BT
