Thread: Tangs!

  1. #1

    Default Tangs!

    My tangs are adjusting well and as can be seen by the stomach on the Powder Blue eating like little piggies. The Kole Tang was too fast tonight to get a picture.

    Here are a few quick shots - the lights were turning off and the glass was dirty but you get the idea....

    Q: Does the Sailfin Tang look like a regular Sailfin or a Desjardini? It was sold to me as a Desjardini from Liveaquaria.com but I have my doubts.

    Looks like a regular sailfin to me. A Desjardini would have yellow spots on the body espeically around the belly area.
    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    I received confirmation today from DFS that it is indeed a Sailfin Tang - not Desjardini. I was hoping the tang was just in an odd transition stage. He is well loved no matter what kind of tang he is.
