my tang population of 5 was reduced to 1 while on vacation a year ago. The tank was cared for by somebody experienced while I was gone, so it wasn’t neglect. I still don’t know how or why 4 suddenly died all together. The lone survivor was my purple tang, which immediately took the dominant role and established itself as the ruler of the reef. Introducing any tang has been unsuccessful, I made an attempt with a mimic tang of a much smaller size. Used an acclimation box and after a week the purple still was not going to let it happen. So the mimic was returned to a safe environment.
I could really use the benefit of additional tangs but don’t know how to go about it. For the fish experts out there. Would the success rate be better if I outnumbered the purple to submission? I’d like to get 4 scopas tangs, in theory the outnumbered intro would have the purple hit the pause button…. But I don’t know… looking for advise
