This PBT is only aggressive to other tangs and my Moorish Idol. That is where the problem is--she bothers the MI too much. I have added a lamark angel and a fairy wrasse to the tank and the PBT completely ignored these fish. I will try to post pictures. She also will nip any xenia coral...

Looking for a home (at least 180 gallon tank) for my 8-9 inch PBT. He is a little too aggressive for my taste. Fish is very healthy and eats well. I have had her for over 2 years. e-mail me at [email protected] I am in Corpus Christi, TX. Scott

Thanks Minh for posting the pic. Lynn, they even like pieces of fresh yellowfin tuna (but who doesn't), so anyone having difficulty feeding may want to try to feed small pieces of a lean fish. This has been a good thread and the thing to learn is that the MI is not impossible. The big...

Lynn, that is a beauty! How do you post pictures? I have tried, but at times the file was too large. Scott

Sounds like you got a great one Lynn!! He/she should do real well! CAT, I have tried putting three nori clips in my tank, all at the same time and in different areas of the tank, and the PBT can be a headache (she is a large fish, about 8 inches). I try it on occasions, but instead, I often...

Not very long. I bought the MI on Jan 23, 2003. They are pretty disease resistant. They will startle pretty easily but they like to be out and about in the tank. Mine eats nori, mysis shrimp (priscine), frozen blood worms, spiriluna, nori, and a variety of flakes (OSI marine, Omega one...

He may nip at your LPS corals, especially if they are red or green. May also nip at clams. Feeding should not be a problem since he is eating well. They like to be fed several times a day and this will cut down on the amount they will nip at your corals. Feed them a varied diet and plenty of...

I am not a big fan of the purple tangs, therefore I would go with the kole tang or convict tang with a yellow tang. The kole and convict, IMO, are beautiful fish and the kole has an advantage that it eats undesirable algae at will. I wish I had room in my tank for a kole, but I don't. I would...

I added a morish idol to my 240 on Wednesday after 12 days in copper quarentine. I have this fish eating 4 different types of flakes, mysis shrimp, blood worms, and nori. When I put him in my reef, he is nipping at my Montipora digitata (orange, they like green and orange foods!!). He nipped...

I have had constant problems with the impellars freezing up on mine. It would be a great pump if they could solve this problem (at least IME) Scott

I agree with the yellow or the kole. Scott

It is unlikely they will tolerate each other in a 50 gallon tank. I tried adding a secong clownfish many years ago with my 50 gallon tank and the new ocellaris got beat up bad. Scott

This stuff worked great for me. Scott

I have been basting them with 2N NaOH lately. This is the best solution I have seen for the bad outbreak I have had. It sure is neat seeing them dissintegrate as they ingest it--and then survuve to be seen with a few battle wounds the next day!! It isn't 100% effective. Aptaisia sure are...
