I have a sailfin in my 90, but if I don't feed it, it won't grow big! Good plan, huh? No badge for me, I bet...

I think that when they are smaller it's fine, but plan to go to a bigger tank when they get bigger.

well i checked out that website and the achilles tang was pretty cool looking as was the clown tang and the powder blue. but i heard clown tangs and powder blue tangs are super agressive and i dont really want a super agressive tang at all. and i've never actually seen an achilles before. so maybe ill just get a really small desjardini and upgrade the tank down the road. mhmmm i need to ponder lol

Achilles tang is the most difficult tang to keep, check the lifespan polls, followed by the powder blue. They are both extremely prone to ich and picky eaters at the start, pretty much if you choose either one of these I highly recommend a QT, mostly to save all of your other fish until you get either of them extremely fat. Clowns are aggressive but also very nice looking, easier to take care of then the other two.

I have a couple Desjardin's Sailfin Tangs in stock and are doing very well. I would suggest a larger tank for these guys but they would be ok right now until you upgrade.

The ones I have are about 3-4" with the larger one being slightly larger.
