Black Sailfin Blenny

Morning everyone. Hope all of you and your tanks are doing well.

I am in the process of re-doing my 75g so tp speak. I have removed some of the fish and given them away to good homes. I.E. Falme Angel, 3 green chromis, magenta dottyback. I have left the Scopas Tang, Copperband Butterfly (my favorite), gold stripe maroon, pink-spotted watchman, red dragonet and lawnmower blenny.

My wife and I saw a Black Sailfin and she loved it. I do have some hair alage going on from the bad DI filter and have read and been told the black sailfin eats this stuff. Would be great to add him to the tank to have him control it. I tried a Kole Tang, but my Scopas beat him up pretty bad, even though they were supposed to get along.

Anyone have experience with the Black Sailfin?

Any help on this guy is greatly appreciated as always.

Thank you all for your time in looking,

Todd

Thanks for the bump BL. ;D

 

Yup, love em. Great fish, if you don't have an herbivour now, pick up that sailfin. I just brought home a cute litttle one, about 1 1/4" long total. I couldn't sell him as he'd starve to quickly, so he got to come home with me. He's taring thru my frag tank as we speak, controlling the little amount of hair algae growing on the frag's super glue bases.

FWIW, there's a yellow morph, typically from Tonga. I used to have one, but I gave him to a friend years ago.

 

I ordered one from my LFS yesterday. Should be here next week. Thanks for your time Gresham.
