Well I thought my tank was going to be piecefull but it seems my yellow belly Hippo now wants to rule the over hippo tangs. It has been chasing the middle sized one around. The middle one even jumped out the top of the tank, luckily I have the back blocked so within a few seconds it feel back in the tank.

I have read a few other talk about their yellows getting mean, anyone know anything about this. I hate to have to pull another fish but it may come to that.

Maybe I just need to wait it out to see what happens they may just have to readjust themselves since the big tang is gone.

I have seen one of these fish eat zoanthids, kill a convict tang of equal size, kill a mandarin, and tried to eat small coral catfish (had it sticking out of of it's mouth). It is just taking the place of the sailfin.

That is what I am afraid of, I will watch it and see how it does.
