Yeah, her fin got torn in the move. That happened at the LFS, where they used a big net to catch her. I hope she heals quickly.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

again congrats on the seal of a deal

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!








a match made in heaven!

oh also dont worry about the fin too much. Jack has it happen all the time now (thanks to the queen) and he heals in about 4 days completely. so once she is dont being stressed and eating garlic goodness she will be all good. also It took Jack alomst a week to start eating really well the first time I got him so dont be to discouraged if it goes on for a while.

that tang is in the naso genus so yes only the males have the little "streamers" as i like to call them coming off the back of there tails just like the male naso tangs do.

Re: Biffy Finally Gets a Build Thread!

also i like jacks coloration better then jills. and i think its hilarious to look at there fins because they are so small compared to the size of there bodies.
