Anyone have experience with a goldrim tang?

Does anyone have any experience with a gold rim tang? I bought one recently and he seems to be doing great.

i had one for a short period then i decided to add another tang and he went nuts. to the point where he killed the other fish and died himself from all the stress

The Gold rim tang can be some what aggressive with other tangs. It needs a good size tank and make sure it get a good amount of greens in it's diet. Also you sure make sure you QT the fish as it usually gets ich very easily.

I think I have one but it went under the name bristletooth Tang. If so, preety darn health fish. beat Ick on it's own. If fack I have trouble getting new fish comfortable in the tank as he thinks he owns the tank..
It is Gray with yellow around the edges. I think I have a pic.in my gallery.

jlaudio what size tank you putting him in?

he should be one of your last additions or he could terrorize new fish. there is always an exception to the rule.

The two that I tried gave me the impression they are even more delicate then the Powder Blue. But in their defense I did get them from ftusa way back when..
