Sailfin tang

[Cogus]

I really like the way the sailfin tang looks was thinkin about getting one as my centerpiece fish what are there requirerments?

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

A 6' long tank is probably the biggest/hardest one to acheive

 

[Cogus]

They wouldnt be able to go in a 4 foot tank?

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Nope. Not unless it is 4 feet deep and 4 feet tall. Lol

 

[Cogus]

Darn:/ any cool centerpiece fish for a 75 reef ?

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Whats currently in the tank?

 

[Cogus]

Six line wrasse and some redleg hermit crabs a few turbo snails and a starfish. Im plannin on gettin a pair of black clownfish and a gobby pistol shrimp pair

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Get a kole tang they do well in 75 gallon tanks. Also get a dwarf angel fish

 

[Cogus]

Could i have both or just one or the other?

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

You could get both

 

[Cogus]

Sweet... Wat about butterfly fish?

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

They are hard take care of, but sure, you would need to replace the tang though

 

[Cogus]

Wat makes them hard to take care of are they picky eaters or more likley to het sic or somthin?

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Picky eaters and pretty fragile fish :/

 

[Cogus]

Ohh okay:/ ill probably stay away from them then since this is my first salt tank

The dwarf angel and butterfly fish would be out if you have corals. BTW this is in the wrong forum and is being moved.

 

[Mr. D]

Any bristletooth or kole tang

Not necessarily. Some butterflies can be kept in reefs and dwarfs are hit and miss so its an at your own risk kinda thing.

I dont wanna risk it haha ill stick with the tang
