    Nice looking fish. I see that she is already getting her adult pattern.

    lol! Joys of tangs... However a rabbitfish will do more damage for seaweed!




    And Congrats OP on the tang. Fed well and doesnt hurt to add vitamin c to their diet and HUFAs!

    Yea i feed her seaweed once a day, and then i feed my dendro mysis or brine shrimp at night. I use half a cube and feed 1/4 to fish and 1/4 to dendro. So she also gets some of that!

    I just lost my baby sailfin yesterday. He got sucked into the space near the end of my return pump outlet and got blasted at 1100 gph. Gruesome stuff. He was a very cool fish; really curious personality and great algae eater. RIP little guy.

    i am sorry to hear that! :(

    funny thing with my girl, when my mp10 on eco smart mode gets up to full speed, and i put my hand near the side of the tank it is on all the fish come over, then i will move fast and the sailfin will put her sail up and get wooshed away by the current! haha :) its kinda funny to watch.

    I feel like my fish are much happier now since i added her, they are always out swimming in the front! My anthias follows her around, so now i have the pair of clowns, anthias/sailfin pair, and green spotted mandarin/red scooter dragonet pair, and i believe my pepermint shrimp got killed last night so that leaves a pepermint/cleaner shrimp pair. Everything in my tank is in pairs!
