Fish and anemone for sale

[Angela Short]

My RBTA will not stay put, Can you belive it? He decided to sit on top of a stony coral all weekend while I was gone and sucessfully killed it and now is sitting on top of my new clam :mad2: He has to go to a home where he has more open room to roam without corals getting in the way. He is pretty big when open fully 6-7 inches at least and his tips bubble out most of the time which is cool looking. I would like $25 for him, I think they sell for well over $50 at the LFS. I got him from Howards super sell and he is very healthy. I will take it to the critter if no one wants him by tuesday as I will be out of town again for a week and can't keep an eye on him. This pic is under antics only, I am fixin to pry him off my clam but if someone wants a shot after halides are on LMK.

I am torn over thease fish. I want both of them but they are just to big for what I have set-up :( The sailfin is harassing the CBB and was just a bad decision for an 80 and the foxface rabbitfish is just plain huge. He is currently in a 30 gal holding tank waiting for a new home and the sailfin is in the reef which will be fun getting him out. My coral beauty also has some teeth marks on him which I would guess came from a unhappily cramped sailfin. Both fish are beautifull and healthy, I will take $20 for either of them.

OK the saifin and anemone are on hold due to ick. The foxface is in a seperate tank with no signs of it but I wouldn't put it in a tank without a proper QT first. Sorry guys if anyone was interested. Mimi, I will let the anemone hang in my tank fish free for the aloted time for all ick parasites to run there coarse and go from there. I guess I will have a fishless tank for the meeting in a few weeks but that will be fine as long as they don't perish in a QT. Don't problems like this just bite?

Angela,
I'll take the sailfin. Whenever you feel like he's good enough to move. I can put him in my FO.

[Angela Short]

Cool phudeb, I am mixing SW to pull him out and put him in a makeshift qt and do copper or hypo on him. I will give an update on him as I go for ya, he is a cool, nice fish.

If nothing else, i'd be interested in both the anemone and sailfin. My maroon clown needs to quit trying to take up with my goniopora, and I have lots of swimming room and food for a sailfin (155 reef). If the tang falls through, let me know...

[Angela Short]

We will see how he fairs with the ick treatment and go from there guys. The foxface is sold, and went into a huge tank all alone so if he is harboring the ick bug he will be easy to treat with hypo. He went to waynesworlds monster 240, its gonna be sweet!

[Angela Short]

Phudeb, are you sure you want to put a sailfin in a 90? My 80 is 4 foot long and the poor guy zips back and forth so fast sometimes he bangs into the wall :( And he is harrasing everyone else for swimming room. I just don't want you to have territory issues and a unhappy fish, LMK because waynesworld has a 240 and RCS's is a 155. How long is the 90?

[SRT80]

I think the demensions on a 90 is like 48x18x24. My brother was wanting a salifin for his 80 bow when its ready....but the guy at AC said he would recomend a 125 gal. or larger for it to be happy. So, I thought that was cool he was honest.

Looks like a Z. veliferum from the pic, is that correct?

[Angela Short]

Yes I think you are right according to my book, it looks like the zebrasoma veliferum, not the red sea one which has smaller stripes. It looks exactly like the one pictures in "Marine Fishes" by Scott W Michael

[RCS]

Sometimes when they're small it's hard to tell apart Z. veliferum and Z. desjardinii. The veliferum has more solid stripes and lacks the spots. They get a pretty good size too, but I believe they're the more docile of the two common sailfin species.

[Angela Short]

I agree the z is supose to be more docile but he is in a very full 4 foot tank and with a ccb the same general shape as him when he is flashing. He is a pretty good size, not a baby at all. He definatly has the bold stripes not the small stripes with the speckeled dotts like the other variety. AC has 2 of the other varieties in and you can tell a marked dfferance in the 2.

[RCS]

Looks like fat, healthy fish! Let me know how treatment goes.
