Nice catch.

pretty fish isn't it? it looks just like my favorite fish Mr. Sailfin.
mine has a great personality, super friendly to all my fish other than the Hippo Tang. he gets mad at me though if i don't look at him long enough. he will also eat the seaweed out of my hand.

They were probably added about 6 months apart in my 93gal and then both were transferd to the 220 at the same time approx 2 yrs ago and then to the 265 last month.

I see your sailfin is white and greyish brown. I bought one and he is yellow and dark brown. Is this because he is still young. Will he turn white and brown later or is there 2 color verietie's?

 

[culp]

the younger Sailfins are difference shades of color than the adult Sailfins.

is your sailfin going into the tank with the ray?
