Irene Sutherland –
Bought a tiny Sailfin Tang for my 125-gallon reef tank. It’s active and curious, and hasn’t shown aggressive behavior toward other fish. Feeding is easy with frozen foods. Good for intermediate reef keepers.
Irene Cornish –
The tang is healthy and stays in the middle of the tank. It’s not overly aggressive, which is good. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving. Needs a good diet and regular water changes.
Oliver Robertson –
Perfect fit for a mid-sized reef tank. The fish is active and colorful. It’s semi-aggressive but doesn’t attack other fish. Easy to spot and maintain in the tank.
