With aggressive tangs, a rearrangement will simply delay aggressiveness, which should not be confused with reducing aggression.

Tha's a very light color toned one! Most I saw are not that bright colored. They are more to the brown side. Any way it's beautiful and it's aggressive.

Thanks for pointing out, the proper phrase should have been "delay aggessiveness"

So is adding more tangs a way to "reduce" or "delay" aggression?

Would adding more tangs makes the tank too crowded which is also bad for the health of the fish?
