Had a Sailfin for 6 years. Size of a big pancake. Added one more fish---Wiped out my whole tank with ich.

I have had one for about 3 weeks. Just moved to a 90g and moved out other Tangs. So far so good.

Love the fish and plan to make it the center of my tank. System was about two years old before I added it. Previously I had a Orange shoulder and a yellow Tang. I found the PBT for a price to good to pass up and jumped on it.

Let us know how it works out for you. I too just bought a powder blue and have him in my [acronym:589aacaadb="quarantine or quart depending on context"]qt[/acronym:589aacaadb] tank right now.

Most definately will. Monday I stopped by a [acronym:d22274ba15="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:d22274ba15] and saw one much smaller than mine for like $80. Fortunately I ddi not pay even half that.

How much did you get your for?

sango · 09-21-2005, 03:45 PM

After everything was all said and done it came to about $60

How big? That is about what I have seen them for online. Mine is about 5"+ and I bought it for $33.99 at a petco normally $82.99. I could not believe it especially since the fish seemed very healthy.

I know many trash Petco and I normally do not buy livestock from them

, but it was too good a deal. Actually of the fish I still have half of the came from a petco and have done extremely well. I bought my pair of maroon clowns on a similar deal and have had them over a year now.

Good luck with [acronym:97a0e1c244="quarantine or quart depending on context"]QT[/acronym:97a0e1c244].
