Coral Hind July 17, 2013 Share July 17, 2013 What sizes are they? I never had any issues with my yellow belly being aggressive to any new fish when added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coral Hind July 17, 2013 Share July 17, 2013 If you can move any rocks around before adding it the yellow belly may be less likely to be aggressive as it focuses on finding a new territory or sleeping spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sachabballi reef July 17, 2013 Author Share July 17, 2013 Also some articles call the orange shoulder aggressive and others as peaceful. What's been the experience of current and past owners? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBVette July 17, 2013 Share July 17, 2013 I think the family of acanthurus is sometimes called aggressive as a whole. Just look at the powder blue for an example of fish that can be somewhat aggressive in that family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctenophore July 18, 2013 Share July 18, 2013 I've had an orange shoulder (A. olivaceus) for about 3 or 4 years. It is now about 7" (started @ 3-4") and is the most peaceful tang of the 5 in my tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
