when i setup my 400g i thought it would be cool to have a school of pbt's...cuz you never see that...
well found out that hard way...they are very territorial....even as small fish. i started with 6...3 made it through the first 2 weeks...after each one established their territory...but then one became the alpha and totally chased the other guys till they were too stressed out to eat or died. after that...i went a different direction with tangs...but now starting to see my sohal establishing his alpha role.. :fie:

I added a pbt and a yellow belly regal at the same time. The tank currently had a yellow tang and a chevron tang that have been established for over a year. I put the two new tangs in at the same time late at night and even left the lights off for three days and not a problem so far. Everyone eats and tolerates each other. Its been almost three weeks and no problems so far. My fox face Lo didn't like the pbt at first but that stopped after a couple of days. All fish are around 4 inches.
