Powder Blue Tang injured

[ireefny]

he got into a scuffle with a kole tang. do you think he needs to be in a hospital tank? I dont want to stress him out more....

 

[DEEPWATER]

I think he will heal on its own ,but if the kole tang keeps attacking him ,you may have a died fish soon .Ide keep an eye out on them ,if they keep it up ,youll have no choice but to remove one .

what size tank are they in ?

 

[Bob 1000]

The cut will be gone in 3 weeks it happened to my hippo tang, unless they are constantly fighting....

 

[ireefny]

they are in a 180, I figure 2 tangs would get along....especially from a Kole tang,,,weird

I think the PBT should heal in my tank-- he wont be lonely LOL

 

[ireefny]

Chris, you got serious tang issues!

 

[cb747]

yeah but none of mine have ever been beat up like yours! My big Vlamingi left today!

 

[DEEPWATER]

180 gal with only 2 tangs ,,,shees that kole tang has some serious issues :lol2:

try moving the rock around abit ,if its not too much work .

 

[ireefny]

i think the pbt tried to flex some muscle & the kole was not having it. two kids with switch blades souldnt be in the same hood

 

[cb747]

LOL i see more damage from my tangs spiking themselves on the urchin than i see from aggression to each other. I got lots of switch blades in my hood LOL Maybe thats why they all have respect!

 

[ireefny]

I cant imagine the mess if one started something....Warriorrsssss, come out out & playyyyyy!

 

[cb747]

LOL the most aggression i see starts at one end of the tank and ends at the other. I think by the time they chase each other to the other siide they forget which tang they were chasing!

WHAT, no Powder Blue? I'm shocked! Some one with so many tangs, and no Powder Blue. Shame shame shame.rangehat

 

[cb747]

Im waiting for dexters!

I hate to say it, but I think the only way a tang is getting out of my tank is in a body bag. I have never caught anything in that darn trap.

 

[jbaez2283]

you should put it in a hospital tank so u could medicaid because i had two blues and 1 did the same thing and the wounded the other, then a week later it got bigger and deeper then died

I used a piece of eggcrate to get my psycho Clown out of my tank. I trapped him in the front, right corner of my tank, then used a small net to get him.
