input on Sailfin Tangs

[mr. limpet]

I was looking at them yesterday, I was wondering if anyone has one and what will it eat?
My tank is 55 gal FO and all zero'd
80 deg
1.022 sal
8.2 ph
tank mates
1 percula
4 green crhomis
1 yellow belly damsel
1 cleaner shrimp
I would like to add a naso and an angel will the Sailfin be better left for later?

I have a large Sailfin with an equally large Yellow,and a small hippo.He eats whatever I put in the tank.His personality is the best out of all my fish.He always is right up front,and will follow me around the tank.I dont think you will have any problems with the fish you listed.Good luck and I'm sure he will become one of your favorite fish also.You can see pics of mine @ mrsalty.homestead.com/page1.html STEVE

all I have to say is that it better be the very last fish you put in the tank. Mine has killed a beautiful wrasse and a small orange-shoulder. After you put him and and he's established he won't take very well to any new fish. I read that they are the least aggressive in the family, but I totally disagree w/ that statement. TJ

Mine was like the second or third fish in. It has never bothered any thing I've put in there.I have more problems with my Allards clown thinking new fish are a meal for his carpet.STEVE
