    I went to my LFS today because he was having an end of year sale...he sold me a medium size Chevron Tang for $40. I am SOOOO excited, my sailfin doesnt appear to be bothering him either, so that is QUITE amazing, cuz he hates EVERYONE!...lol Will post some pics when he isnt so shy!

    My 1st chevron I had had issues eating, and was very emaciated. Ordered it online and got a bad one. It was very shy and timid. after it passed ordered another one from a different site, It was shy till a few hours into acclimation then very bold. :) Still have the little guy Started out at 1".. and now is 3!

    Awesome! I was really shocked that my sailfin didnt really mind him coming in...he killed a regal tang i tried to add a few months ago, thats why i was suspect of trying the chevron, but for the price and those colors.. i couldnt pass him up
