Alas the sailfin I purchased on boxing day 2007, passed just 3 short weeks after I added it. It was a small juvi and was eating and friendly, but just the other day I came home to find it dead, suctioned to a koralia.

I would try again but perhaps an older specimen.

after my chromis it must be the hardiest fish in my tank. chomping more than a sheet a day of seaweed, always swimming in front on the koralia lol, awesome fish no doubt

Ha! Mine loves swimming directly in the wake (and trying to eat any algae off of) my Tunze powerheads. Most funny is that she swims in the path to "do her business" and my Kole Tang swims right behind to eat her poop.
