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.

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. Steve |
