    Very solid fish.

    A solid easy to keep tang and a great help controlling bubble algae I keep them in every tank I have had or will ever have :) All I keep in the way of a fish has to perform a service and this one does a great job . I have yet to ever have one get to the giant sizes many say they will ? in a 750 gallon system for 4 or 5 yrs I had one to get to the size of a DVD or C.D disk one I have here came from home and he is ??? 8 or 9 yrs old been in a 180 all of his life and he is about as large as 3in in Dia or so .

    Beautiful fish. Have had. About same behavior and habits as a yellow tang. Never a problem with other fish.

    Would a yellow Tang and a Sailfin Tang fight If they are the same size?

    We have a Desjarni and a yellow down at the shop and get along fine. My daughter has one thats gotten about 5"s in a year and hers is with a blue tang. He's a total ham, she can't take a picture of anything in her tank without at least a portion of him in the pic
