my new tangs

[tankedchemist]

So, I got two tangs at the "new" LFS-- they were already in the same tank. I got a golden naso and a sailfin-- but the sailfin looks like a desjardini to me. The sailfin follows the naso around.pics soon

Also is it normal for a naso to have its mouth open a lot?

 

[motorcyclereefer]

Um we want pics. You should know. And I don't know about the mouth open.

Awesome additions! I've got my eyes on the lieutenant tang as my last tang.

There will be pix as soon as I finish eating and go get my laptop from work. Patience is a virtue!

Those are both excellent pics. That's the kind of sailfin I want to get. Mine died when I moved.

Congrats on the new additions...my old naso used to keep his lips parted also. So it must be normal behavior.

Beautiful additions!

thanks! They've already eaten both mysis and algae sheets, so it looks pretty good. I'm rearranging my living room so I can have a chair right by the tank, I think. :D

So guys, any good name ideas?

:^: Wow that naso tang is incredible looking. Congrats! :^:

 

[tankedchemist]

thanks! it's the only golden one I've ever seen so I'm pretty excited about it.

Those are good looking fish, but......and I hate to sound like Mr. Negativity, but you picked 2 of the largest tangs and even a 125 isn't big enough for them long term. The Naso will grow to 18" and the sailfin to 16". Your tank isn't big enough for both those large fish.
I just wish more research would go into these purchases. There are sooooooo many tangs that are suitable, long term, for a 6' 125g tank, but the 2 you picked are not.

Nice fish and I have no idea about the size of them.

I know that what they say is only a guideline but, live aquaria says they only need a minimum of 125g tank

They are gorgeous!
