they will stay in this tank until the light go out later.

then its into the jungle for them. they both are eating well already.

they came from Aqua Hut in Coram.

i keep looking at the SF expecting it to be a tinker butter fly.. but its really a tang haha

So cute! Love the little guys!!! I think they are fine in that tank (not when they get much bigger, but for now they seem very happy)!!!

[ecvernon]

wow thats even smaller than the one ive had before. they can get eaten by a coral!
Really cool

Nice fish Arati but what's up with that qt tank? Those fish are tiny so I don't think the size is an issue for swimming space (which I find to be a ridiculous rule anyway), but is there any biological filtration? IMHO the instability of a tiny tank is not best for these fish. Maybe you could get a piece of rock from your other tank in there?

Oh lol. Nevermind then

Oh my, they are adorable. You sure it will be safe for them in the "Jungle" tank?

My old Hippo was the size of a nickel when I got him from LA. Within the 1st. year he was 3". When stupid Sandy came rolling through he was 5". He was about 3 years old. I miss him! Never got ich, survived the heater explosion that took out all the other fish.

Update* Both tangs went into the DT about 2am.. yes I am nocturnal ..

As of now both are doing well and seem like they will be fine. they are practically still Plankton ..

My reef is mellow , and I guess they don't threaten the resident bristle tooth tang much. One thing about a DD tank , one a fish is in, its hard to get out.

Ill get a few pics later

Think ill go buy a black tip for my pico next..

I just showed my wife and now she's in love with the sailfin. I wish I had a place. If he went in my 90 the kole would have a fit.
