Had to pull the trigger and lose one of the nicest Sailfin Tangs Ive seen. What a great fish it was but just too aggressive and really needed a 6 foot tank. Theres a few fish that are quite relieved about his absence, especially the CBB, that was the SFs favorite punching bag and every week he new bruises to prove it.
I was able to get a very healthy Powder Blue Tang and a small Kole Tang. That little Kole tang has already eaten more algae in 3 hours then my Lawnmower Blenny did in 3 days (he died BTW, I left the overflow gaurd off n found him on the floor
). TRuley voracious algae grazer. The Powder Blue is also tearing into algae. Snowflake Moray has also been 86'd.
Id like to get a replacement algae blenny or scoot-around doofyass type fish and the LAST FISH I get, to replace the size of the Sailfin is... A Lrg Moorish Idol. That will give me 3 butterflys, 3 tangs, 2 wrasses, 2 Sabae Clowns, 1 Mandarin and one stunning Moorish Idol. I know the Idols have been one of the hardest fish to keep but I think id enjoy the challenge.
Anyone currently have or has had a Moorish Idol? If it turns out they are that hard to keep healthy and happy even in healthy tanks, Ill get a Heniochus instead.
good luck.
IF my LFS wasnt so tight-lipped about the proper husbandry practices for this animals Id probably wouldnt post half as much. But alas, they never tell you NUTTIN, so here I am again. At least this time Im asking for info before the purchase.
