    Just picked up a small sailfin! Shes doing great already eating after a few hours in tank, really is what i was looking for to spice up the tank! She eats pellets readily 2! She was $50just at the lfs i said ill give ya $40 and he went for it, then had a 25%car off coupon so got hwr for 30$! Great deal!

    Any tips on these guys? I know she will need a bigger tank eventually, i plan on getting a 6footer next year so no prob there.

    Any experienced advice would be great!

    My favorite fish in my tank. They do grow pretty fast and are super active. Mine eats from my hand every day. Keep it well fed. Congrats on the addition.

    My favorite fish as well but they do get big. Provide the fish withe plenty of nori. I have two tangs in my tank and I give them half a sheet a day.......it doesn't last long.

    Edit: my desjardini is about 8" and the PB is about 6" just to give you an idea on the nori consumption. :)
