Would you buy a RS Sail Fin Tang for $25?

So I went down to aquatraders today to buy a new bulb for my UV, and I saw a sail fin tang in one of there many tanks, (Iv'e actually bought a fish or two from them) so I figured for $25 dollars why not. As long as I Qt him as long as 6 weeks in a hypo tank I should be fine right?

Sure, why not.
I noticed in your avatar the blenny in your hand. I have a lawnmower blenny that's in his final days, he just wont eat. The rest of thetank and occupants are great so I'm going to miss him. He's skinny, real skinny! I'm expecting to see the crabs on him any day now. It's a shame cause like all blennies he really has personality.

ah man, I hate that. These little guys are like little puppies, sorry to here about his illness, mine was able to eat from my hand, every time my hand went into the tank to move a rock he would chase me to sit in it, he is gone now, my very large green brittle star ate him while he slept, so, don't be afraid to buy another just try and get him to eat flake or pellets

Is it just the pic? Where are the orange lines of a desjardinii? Kinda looks like a regular sailfin to me.

I was a about to say, that is definitely not a red sea specimen, but it is still a nice fish.

Yes I did get one, when I got home I put him on RC before making sure what he was, still a nice fish. Man they have four more just like him. I can't wait to get the little guy in.

Good find. I can get one from petco for the same price but I would NEVER risk getting another fish from them.
