Acanthurus bahianus w/sailfin

[randomfishdude]

So I'm opperently stupid. I always thought theese fish were atlantic blue tangs.
Well opeerently they are diffrent. So I've gone all this time thinking I would have to sped 150$ on a atlantic blue that are constantly sold put and quite aggressive. Well I can get the fish i acually want for 50$. Well do you think one of theese baharius could do good with a sailfin? It's a 90 gal (I know hush i know i can keep 2 tangs).

What about for 6 ish months till I move and get a big built in?

I had a sailfin for 7 years and it was not aggressive at all. I think atlantic blues get a little more aggressive over time but if they are small they will not outgrow your 90 for many years.

The 90 won't be up for much longer. Myy sailfin has accepted another tang before.
But ocean surgeonfish is diffrent from the abt. I do plan to keep them together as they often school together In the wild. But only when I get a big tank.
