[psycho-killer]

hey

at the moment i have a

Regal Tang
Scopa Tang
Pajama Tang
Sailfin tang

and other fish

i heard that the scopa is aggresive and that the pajama tang has a very low survival rate is this true ? bought these 2 yesterday and they all are happy together no fights,

the scopa is picking algae the whole time havnt eaten pellets yet, and the pajama for some reason is stressed and is behind a rock,now and again he will do a few rounds of swimming and go back to the rock, i had one previously that lasted 3 months and the one day when i came back my LTA anenome were busy chowing him dunno what happened there,,

If by Pyjama tang you mean what I know as the Alogo Surgeonfish Acanthurus lineatus, then yes they do have a rather low survival rate. The reason being they need very high flow, odd for a fish. They are also exceptionally aggressive and their caudal spine is reputed to be venomous. Watch out; they'll attack you too.
