Who else hear loves there tangs. My red Sea Pacific Sailfin 'Bruce' is awesome when ever I put my hand in the tank he swims up to it and starts rubbing up against it and sometimes he even lets me pet em! He doesnt let anyone one else do it though. :grinyes: :grinyes:

i just bought a nice sailfin and he has been doing great however, i came home today and i found him plastered against the rock being blasted by the powerhead--it looks like he got i little to curious of it and got spit through it. I went to remove him bought once i got him out of the stream he started to swim--hes pretty banged up but i think he might make it, he has been swimming around better and better-cross my fingers
great pic bluedempsy, is that your tank? congrats if it is

What else is in there fishwise? and watch for infections. If he is still eating he should recover.

i was gonna remove him but he has been eating and acting normal, just a little rip in the fin so i think he will be ok

im a new fan of tangs. my work just took apart the display tank due to remodeling so I was able to take the fish home. One of them was a sailfin tang bout 6 inches. very cool fish.

I know Im gonna get ripped but I find them hard to get eating but Ive have had an easier time getting them to eat in bigger tanks like 200+, juveniles are a little easier. Look at Mr. Bluedempsey's tank he has a very nice powder.

just have a large source of algae in the tank so the tang can eat at it's leisure
works most of the time! :naughty:
