SRC Member metals99 Posted November 15, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 15, 2003 Hi, i've been having seriously to start keeping tangs.. i think my tank water condition after 9 months now is ok and i guess i could intro one tang in.. now inside currently got tomato clown, small maroon white bars, 2 chromises.. my tank is a 2 feeter 15 gallon i know u guys be saying small but after sometime i think it would do well and it is my last fish.. anyway is the success in keeping it good? difficult to keep? and how big can it get i heard it would grow only till 4' across.. thanks in advance.. anyway my rock scape in a way give alot of swimming space of a 2 feeter..

SRC Member Golden Tooth Posted November 16, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 16, 2003 The Desjardini Sailfin Tang is still my family's favourite. Have it in my tank for 1yr+ before gave it away to my father's tank. Quote Bevor Sie das Licht sehen, müssen Sie sterben! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a tang that size, suggest you give up the idea of keeping any tangs..... Its way to small even for the smallest zebrasoma species of tang...... BTW sailfin can grow to a rather huge size ard 40cm...... And tang shit like crazy and to me is like b2 bomber dropping bomb continously, trust me i have been there done that........ Anyway sailfin are rather tough tang to have and a healthy specimen should feed on exclusively anything...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member metals99 Posted November 16, 2003 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 16, 2003 i wander as i know danano have a sailfin tang i saw it on his bonsai reef.. wander if he would transfer it to a bigger tank.. thats why if i buy i would sure get the healthiest specimen.. terryz your sailfin looks good..

SRC Member IcecruncherZ Posted November 16, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted November 16, 2003 Get the Desjardinii. I've one from CF for more than 1/2 year and so far its been doing great. They're healthy, happy, tough tangs. Most importantly, they're the most docile of the zebrasomas. Cheers~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
