RIP: RS sailfin tang

regal · 12-31-2006, 01:23 PM

My Red Sea sailfin tang got infected by some sort of parasite after I cleaned out my sump a few weeks ago.

I had to send him to fish heaven before I went out of town last week.

Now, any suggestions for a new fish? I was thinking either another tang or a large angel.

Current fish list:
PBT
Chevron tang
Hippo tang
Regal angel
Flame angel
Potter's angel
Anthias (only 1)
Cleaner wrasse
Flame hawk
Diamond goby
Paired marrone clowns
Paired true percular clowns
6-line wrasse

Sorry about the sailfin.
Do you have a Kole Tang? If not, I'd lean towards one of them first. Off of your list, my choices first to last:
Chevron tang (just as good as a Kole and probably better looking)
PBT
potters angel
I'm impartial with the rest although I do like Regals and the orange splash of the flame angel.
Flame hawks are just cool fish.
I'd stay away from the six line. I hate mine.
Hippos are cool, but mine seems a little too aggressive.

I have a large sailfin I was planning on selling if you are interested?

How about a clown tang?

LOL. That's the list of fish I currently have in my tank.

I think the achilles tang (acanthurus achilles) is a great looking fish. Plus I love the whole "A goddess dipped me in something that makes me invincible" thing ...

Hit or miss. I have a lot of people putting them in their reefs.

Jonathan, sorry to hear about your loss.

No thanks. I want to try something different, less aggressive. My sailfin was pretty aggressive against my PBT and the regal angel. (and the CBB I used to have)
