SRC Member Eric Ng Posted April 29, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 are they difficult to get to feed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member flo_reeftank Posted April 29, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 are they difficult to get to feed? feeding i think not a real issue with tangs in general if you get a healthy specimen they usually will peck on live rock and rapidily accept dry food : pellet, mysis shrimp and seaweed.. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Eric Ng Posted April 29, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 thanks bro what about aggression? I already have an AT, sohal and scopas in my thank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member kenyee Posted April 29, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 Aggression wise I think the most fierce is sohal..it oso depend on the fish size difference..ur tank size n scaping play a part too..good luck..

kcwai Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I had a bad experience with chevron whereby it died after few days due to swollen mouth. was happily eating days before. no idea why only this fish im having this issue Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member flo_reeftank Posted April 29, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2014 I see.. Tang are in general agressive between them , if I am you I will not put a chevron tang in last. Unless the chevron is larger than your existing tang or if you have a large tank..your already have 2 agressive tang inside ( sohal and achilles )..

For Chevron tang info, there's really not much from google..have read that bacterial infection/parasites might b the cause..once again copper come in for the treatment..of coz if fish still eating, try not to give medication as will stress the fish further..
