    I introduced an new fish to my aquarium last night. A barthis anthius (sorry about the spelling). The Poor fish has been getting picked on constantly by the Yellow Tang. I have just tried moving some of the rock around the tank to change his territory. I hope this will help. Has anyone had this problem before? Is this normal? Will it stop? :eek:

    Totally normal.
    Yellow Tangs are the most aggressive.
    Ideally you add the tang last.
    But, you did the second best thing, changing it's territory.
    It will probably beat on it for a while then hopefully mellow out.
