I upset the Clowns

[geno]

I added 2 tangs (sailfin and yellow) to my 125 -- which only had 2 small clowns, a goby and a blenny. The clowns are pretty upset since the tangs are so much larger than them.

Will everybody settle down soon -- I sure hate to stress my cute little clowns!

thanks,

I added my clowns first to my tank. Every time I added another fish, they were upset for 2 days. After that, no problems at all.

Thanks -- I was hoping you would say that.

I Think I will need to make some rock adjustments -- not for the clowns -- but for the tangs -- they seem to need more "in and out" places -- not just swimming end to end.

agree?

Definitely. All of my Tangs love to swim in and out of the rocks. Matter of fact, I have a Potter's Angel and a Yellow Tang who play Follow the Leader with each other through the rocks..quite amusing!
