Default yellow tang and firefish ?

i purchased my scooter drag. first, my clown pair second,my fire fish third, neon goby forth, and yellow tang last, over 1yr time, the tang was added last week, all the fish were great got along great, the fire fish would always be out,actully the only time he was hiding was when the lights went out. then i added the yellow(not sure if was the best idea). he did check every one out,but no aggression was displayed. its been about a week now and my firefish still has not seemed to adapt to the presence of the tang. he hides in the cave all day long and only comes out to feed. every one else seems to enjoy the new playful tang. he dose not show aggression at the firefish, every time the firefish comes out the tang just looks at him and the firefish is gone.
it really stinks my firefish had some of the best color ive ever seen in a purple firfish now he can never be seen. any advice. oh yeah the tang is a juvi only about 2 inches.

dont really know what to say, maybe he will eventually warm up but there is not much you can do, firefish tend to be skittish

Give it time...will get used to new inhabitant.

Tangs can be pretty active which may be intimidating to flame....

I have a simlar situation with my Flame Angel and Firefish. My Firefish is social but the problem I ran into was that my Flame Angel did ot like the new addition, so everyonce and a while the Flame Angel would chase him but now all is well and they get along great. So give it a little time and they should get along probley just need to figure out who lives where. Hope this helps you out.

Sincerely
Tom
