Hi,

My tank has been running more than 3 months.

PT fat and healthy.

However when I put in any other tangs, have tried powder blue, naso n blue tang

All got wacked till got ich n die....

Any way to solve this except selling this PT away.

PT is the current alpha. Difficult to train his temper unless u change him out. I had PT who terrorised whole tank (include other tank mates, not just tangs)...after removing him (sold), all tank mates started swimming happily ever after...until the next alpha takes over :(

PT is your "Mr In charge". But not all PT are like that. you can perhaps feed it some seaweed? It will be too busy snacking on it that it forgets to bully his tank mates.

Haha! I do intend to keep a trigger fish one day (If I get approval for a 6ft by HDB). And hopefully train them not to touch my corals.

I once have a picasso trigger fish in a four feet LPS tank, it won't touch coral but touch everything beside it, from anthias to clam to shrimp to crab... makes me wonder whether what I bought is a trigger or a shark...

子非鱼,焉知鱼之乐... (you are not the fish so you...)

Then: my 4FT low tech selling off tank... (2006)

Now: (2014)
