Hey Guys and Gals,

Got a new fish today--been looking for it for a while.Doin the studying etc.
Any insight or previous experience.Got the food thing goin--herbivore.Have him in my 90 gal. plenty of room and light and eats.Beautiful fish--approx 4 inches long and very full bodied and finned.It started grazing as soon as it was in the tank.No worries here, just a new to the tank- fish.

Good luck with it, Marc. Those fish can be quite entertaining to watch and I love to take pictures of them because they are simply camera hogs...

We have never had a fish that was a camera hog, quite the contrary.

Well, when I was in the LFS taking pictures of some of their fish the sailfin had ruined quite a few for me by perching right in front of the lense the second I pressed the shutter release... Every time I changed the angle he would shift his little carcass the minute I wanted to take a shot...

Everytime we tried to get a good fish picture the turds would run and hide!

My Sailfin has since gotten an orange stripe along his dorsal fin and a pinkish purple stripe at the top of his tail. Beautiful coloring.I'll try to get a pic.
