never seen that happen! I have transported many fish in buckets... you should see how many fish some stores acclimate in a single bucket... the tang may have died due to stress! tangs and wrasses aren't going to get up to much trouble... unless it's a lunar or bird wrasse.... then i'd just ask "why do you want those" lmao!

Leopard wrasse and red coris wrasse with the tang. The red coris has just changed to adult colors, tang is not quite full grown but a good size and leopard wrasse - hard to say but about the size I've seen others, so maybe full grown??!!

It had numerous flesh wounds caused by the scalpel as the tang kept rounding the bucket. Like I said it was shredded. It was the first time I've heard of this as well. If memory serves me correct, I believe it was a Sohal which was approx. 7-8 inches.

Yellow tang, I was hoping to add a yellow much later as one I had before got quite mean to newcomers added after him, but this one is beautiful (is there really a difference....lol). All my fish are peaceful so that's the only bit making me a bit nervous...

The wrasses are stunning as well. I added a red velvet wrasse and it does still hides, but comes out to eat and gets bolder everyday. Both the wrasses were out swimming in their current tank when I was there last weekend, so hopefully they settle quickly once I get them!

All fish transported and now in their new tanks, except the leopard wrasse. Will hopefully have him soon.
