Well

I have added the 1 and probably only large fish to my 72 gallon.

A Indian Ocean Sailfin~Zebrasoma desjardinii

About 4" long and seems to be doing fine. She has been in there for about 3 hours now and she started to pick at the nasty algae after about 20 minutes in the tank.

Big Al's in Stoney Creek has 3 more and 1 Pacific Sailfin.

They have been there for awhile. All seem to be doing fine.

Once she has been in the tank for a few days, I will get some pics.

In the meantime here is an example photo.

Hey Mitch,

I've got one of these guys. He was in with my Formosa Wrasse and kept picking on her so I pulled her out and put her in another tank. I plan to put him in my 120 with a Kole and a Yellow so hopefully they all get along.

Yep those are awsome fish indeed, I got mine at Aquarium Depot and have had him for about 8 months which is great. Paid $65 for him. I would love to get a pic but it seems whenever I have a camera in my hand he will not stay still long enough to get a close up shot.

Anyone looking for tangs I saw SOME GORRRRGEOUS SOHALs
at Big Als on Dundas today! amaaazing....
and they had one of the nicest Naso tangs I have ever seen bar none...

MITCH...gorgeous sailfin! I have never kept one but some
day I would like to...they have recently caught my eye after
years of looking at them and sort of ignoring them....
They are DAMN NICE! Congrats!

That is a fine example Mitch , have a gentle side to them , the one I have presently has never been aggressive towards any other tank mates , also they seem to get better markings as they age !
