sail fin tangs

[nemo1991]

ok, so i love the sail fin tangs, and always had my mind set on the desjardini sail fins tangs, but when i went to my lfs the other day they ahd a sail fin from australia, and it was just like the regular one, but it had a bunch of yellow in it, and it looked awsome!

I have a Sail Fin, great fish, gets a long with all other tank mates. Only problem I ever had was with him and a mirror I introduced a Black Tang into the mix and the 3 Yellow Tangs didn’t like it…..So I tried putting a mirror to distract them. All other fish hid while the Sail Fin went back and forth and his yellow turned purple. From what I have read is, only one per tank, regardless if it’s a Desjardinii or just a regular Sail Fin. The Desjardinii are very nice, if I could have found one I would have gone with the Desjardinii .

I would not add a thing to that 135 until its stable and see what dies off first you may have hit it with the old water and sand from the 55 if you used it ? But buddy you better get a coke and cool your jets for a couple of months and let the system stabilize , I think you already rushed it a little faster then what I told you to , But like I said even the blind hound gets a bone every now and then . But for what its worth if you do not want to have just moved from a 55 Gal killing machine to a 135 gallon machine then simply cut your engines and cool your wings sky pilot (:

Or not ? Its you money and soon to be mess have at it.. let us know how it works out for you .. Good luck
