a few weeks ago I started a post about wanting to get a couple of tangs for the 210g and then finally decided on the blonde naso and desjardini sailfin tangs. well the naso ended up being a male that has already begun to grow his streamers even tho when I placed the order through my LFS I hadnt really specified and it didnt matter to me one way or another. so here are some pics as they are acclimating. sorry about the clarity of the pics I must have taken 1000 with 2 seperate cameras with no luck.

Salt210, can you tell me how these two are getting along?
I currently have 125 with my blonde naso being one of the oldest residents.
I wanted to add a sailfin tang, but I had concerns about the compatability.

every time I look at the tank they are swimming together, but I bought them at the same time and they were in the same holding tank as well.

Ill try to get some more shots. I think the sailfin thinks the naso is his body guard. every time I look the tank he is swimming next to him.

these guys are doing great and tearing up the algae sheets that I put into the tank for them.

they are also staying close to the bluethroat that I added a few weeks back, even like to go into his cave with him

he is starting to get use to me walking up to the tank as well, but not the sailfin. it still scares easily.

both look great

My Desjardinii loves mysis in addition to the algae sheets. She only took 2 days to get used to me coming up to the glass. I think the fact that all my other fish "hound" the glass when they see someone helped. I have a bunch of little piggies that seem to think they are always starving, though their eyes are bigger than their stomachs

Ill have to check my LFS to see if they carry mysis. I want them on a varying diet and not just the algae as that is all the sailfin is eating at the moment. I only have one that I will go to now.

Do you have a closer pic that shows the detail and face?
Mine was labeled Red Sea Desjardinii when I got her. I haven't had the chance to take any photos yet.
