Nice score Justin. He's a beauty; and I'm sure he'll fit in with no problems. My Sailfin is a model citizen and one of my favourites. Have fun with him.

Yeah he is a beauty! Nice to get a new fish that is so healthy and you know is eating, ect.

I feel really bad for the original owner though since I know it was one of his favorite fish

No problems so far...I worried about the Yellow but he actually seems to 'like' the Sailfin. Follows him around a lot.

Well the tusk eats all the food I feed the tank...Nori, prawns, mussels, squid, clams, pellets...pretty much everything.

He also eats shrimp, crabs, hermit crabs sometimes and anything he thinks he can get out of the shell. But I find he doesn't care about inverts as long as he is fed well. I only see him eat inverts on days that I don't feed quite as much.

Some daytime pictures of the Sailfin and 'friends'.

The four tangs and the Rabbit thats thinks hes a tang...

You might notice in many of the pics I have posted of the Sailfin, the Yellow is right behind him. The Yellow (Bubbles) has followed the Sailfin all day. I thought it was coincidence at first but I don't think so. Its kind of like he look up to him or something

I need some ideas for small fish. I have way too many big guys and not so many little guys. Really need some more variety. I have been considering an Emperor Angel but maybe instead a bunch of small fish would be nice.

Why not add a few wrasses, like a Mystery, Hooded Fairy, Sixline... Maybe some pygmy angels? Flame and Eibli, Lemon Peel..

Most of those are active swimmers, unlike the watchmen gobies and such..

That sailfin is gorgeous... I was drooling over the big one at Red Coral tonight..

Yeah I like your ideas. Maybe a few small angels would be nice (and easier) than a big one.

I definitely want a Wrasse but not until I sort out a screen for the top. I have been lazy with that.

A few more of the Sailfin
