How aggressive are they? You don’t think he can be in a 4’ 90 for long do you? Just spit ballin. I’ve chosen not to have tangs in my tank atm but…
How aggressive is, to me, an unanswerable question. They are sturgeonfish but every one has their own personality. Mine shows no aggression at all.

Mine is in the don't start no crap, won't be no crap world.


They don't start out big. A smaller model could definitely live in a 4' tank for a while but not a long time. I've seen a bunch of 2-3" available at shops around me.

You think the odds are higher for a CBB if there is no tangs?
Yes. Copper bands generally eat slowly. Tang's eat quickly.

CBB are major pod hunters and are constantly hunting. I don't want them to rely on that for the majority of their nutrition.

If I do roll the dice then it would be the one of biggest fish in the tank along side the Angel eventually and the Bandit or Regal I want.

Have your pod population on point from day one including phyto dosing at least twice a week.

QT it. Many (most) CBB get lymphocyst outbreaks under stress. Sometimes they are limited to the fins but can often move to the mouth as well making it harder to eat. They deal just fine with copper so you're quarantine is both ensuring it is healthy, ensuring it understands what and how we feed, and is able to keep up once in the tank.

Mysis and brine shrimp seem to be the easiest to get them eating. Once they are eating, FEED THEM. You want a fat fish moving into the tank.

Should I dose Prazi or no?

looking great

what is the tang mostly on the right - orange body, blue-ish fins, some black on its face?
Thats a Chocolate Tang also known as a Mimic Tang, that one has the adult coloring as the juvenile is all yellow but with bright blue highlights on its face giving it the name Lemon Peel Tang. And yes Lost I do believe it’s on the right this time lol.
