how to school PBT?!?


Recommended Posts

So far I've only heard of yellow tang schooling but never heard of PBT schooling.

I think the tank size you mentioned might be too small as the smallest I've seen with a school of 4 YTs is a 6 footer tank

But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

I don't think they school (you might want to check on that)

Even getting YT to school is quite difficult as I read an article in FAMA that documents YT schooling and they found that they would eventually attack each other :(

The website said they form schools to invate territories but I think in captive, they would very rarely exhibit this trait

yes somehow in a tank, even the more then willing to school chromis will still spread through the tank and not exibit their schooling behaviour.(not to mention tangs) this is most likely because they must have felt that they are safe in the tank as it is small enough to see each other too and have not seen any predator. fishes school usually because they will be safer in larger groups then singly and not to mention getting more food like huting together. then again, in a tank not so many of us will provide a predator for your fishes just to get them to school(no offence to frogfish lovers) unless you are keeping predators of cos and has no choice but to put in their natural food.

Yeah I thought so too

PBT are considered as one of the more aggresive tangs so I guess it would not get along with anything <_<

No lah, no lah. I am wrong. Blueheaven is much more knowledgable than me.

He knows all the scientific name and all.

Even as an ex-SPS keeper, I do not know know most of the SPS names. I just buy whatever colour i find pretty. As SPS more or less have the same requirements; high-flow, low NO3, deep pockets, too much time and no life.
