Sailfin Tang

[_Gill_]

I'm getting a sailfin today from a fellow reefer. I am super excited; I have been looking for one for over a year now. I just hope My Blue an Yellow will play nice. :nono:

Close up.

Hope the sailfin is as large as your others. They will probaly fight.

I would be more concerned about the Yellow.

Nice looking RBTA's btw!

I had a sailfin got rid of it, was a bully

I've got em all, no one bothers anyone. Then again, each tank is different, my tank is big enough to accomodate all of them with plenty of space. Each fish has its own personality too. You may see an initial scramble from the fish, but I think you should be ok.

God I love glowing corals, I nearly got a salfin but decided against as they seem to like a lot of tank to swim in

The sailfin is a little bigger than the other two, and it's a disjarjini Here's a couple for size reference. My tank is a 6 foot 125

Here is a pic of what I'm trading. A "Rainbow" Yuma, tyree toadstool and fake hornets.

The fish couldn't be caught.. hopefully he will fall for the trap tomorrow.

I love desjardini tangs. Is the trap that he is using big enough for it to fit in? I had to pass mine on to a reefer with a much larger tank because it was starting to get to big for my 180. I put seaweed on a clip and attached to the back of the trap and had no problem catching him. He would try to shove his big body in a trap that was smaller then him to get it so when it was time to go I made a bigger one. Hope he gets caught, easily one of my favorite tangs. One day I will have a tank big enough to keep one long term.

Good luck, my Desjardini is one of my all time favorite fish's!

He caught the fish and got him to me in perfect shape!!! The blue has allready gone to bed by the time I introduced the sailfin. My yellow did the tail slapping dance but did no damage to the sailfin. I woke up this morning to a shredded fish!!! I was really upset, so I put the sailfin up on my local forum for free. A local reefer with a 300 DD tank came and got him (he even gave me some cash, super nice guy!) I'm really sad it didn't work out, but I'm happy he found a good home in the end. I just hope he doesn't go after his new owners baby Black Tang...

holy cow!!!! that yellow wasnt not messing around!

 

[Reefing Madness]

Wow!!

The yellow didn't do it, it was the blue. That blue is soooo mean! He has drawn blood on a clownfish. Sometimes he like his new tank mates but after this I'm giving up, no new fish until I upgrade.

Tangs are funny fish, I got a salfin a few weeks back and my small kole tang totally wanted to kill him but my powder blue didnt care less so I had to give him up. My local LFS had a good size beautiful yellow tang that I couldn't pass up so I thought I'd give him a try hoping that he would hold his ground against what I assumed would be my aggressive kole. Well this time around the kole didn't care but the powder blue was not impressed, still have some aggression from the powder blue but the yellow holds his own. For the most part everything is ok, fish don't behave as you expect sometimes!!
