My Tangs have some funny manorisms lately.
My purple one and my scopas like to slap their tails together pretty
firmly. It must be some sort of dominance test. The purple tang is much larger than the scopas, and the scopas always backs down, but not right away...he gives him a good fight.
Another thing that was cool...My sailfin is the biggest fish in the tank.
When I recently added my flame angel, the sailfin got very withdrawn and subdued. His colors faded for several hours, and then he was fine..
I think the fact that the flame had stripes...maybe the sailfin didn't like that...
oh well...just sharing a fish story with the peeps online...
