Sailfin Moved On
My beautiful Sailfin was finally getting too big for the tank and was being way too bossy.
I caught him this morning in a trap I set up with a holding box. Luckily he is such a guts he swam straight in for breakfast - no worries, I didn't think it was going to be that easy. Anyway he's now in a mates 6x2xx2 and cruising around nicely.
It was good to see him go to a better home.
Just a couple of hours later I can't believe how peaceful my tank is with him gone.

It's always good to see them go to a good home. I'll trade ya, my Purple Tang for that Elegance. :D Purple tangs are the stoners of the reef world, I have yet to see one that was a bastard.

Yep, I love my purple - hopefully he'll be more out in the open now that the sailfin has gone.

Hi Dave !

Wow...your tank looks so lovely and so amazing ;)
How long did it take you to make such beauty!!

You have my favorite fish..yellow tang :)

Thanks Zhenya, the tank is around 18 months old. It's had a couple of moves in that time as I moved house - it's home to stay now.
There is also a Purple Tang and a Yellow Eye Kole in there as well - all very happy.
Cheers

Every Purple tang I own has a different personality. My wife's comes out all the time and mine is a fraidy cat. I have a HUGE one at the shop that comes up for nose scratches. They're one of my favorite fish, right up there with my big angels, 6 Bars top the list of large angels, mine spits water at me till I feed her, lol.
