"Like throwing a chicken to a bunch of T-Rexes" had me rollin!! I'm hoping to get 2 of those little dudes after I get my tank cycled for a bit with the right parameters. Did you order yours from Biota or pick them up at an LFS?

I picked him up at an LFS, from there he went into the 40G tank that's connected to the same sump as the big one so I can get him acclimated to the water, the Blue Hippo (bought at the same time), and the food I feed. He was in there growing out for a few months, he ate all the algae in my frag tank, was getting along great, and getting nice and fat.

When I put him in the main tank the rest of the tangs had him laying on his side gasping for air within 30 seconds they were so brutal! I never expected that, I did all the right things,.. and still. Then they went after the Blue Hippo with the same amount of force. After hours of putting nets in to distract them, feeding like crazy, lights off, trying anything to stop the carnage, taping a mirror to the tank was the fix. The bullies were so focused on the mirror that they forgot all about the new fish. 2 months later or so I took it off, and everyone is still happy.
