Mimic Lemon Peel Tang with Sailfin Tang?

neltel_7 · Apr 10, 2020

Would this combo work in a 100 gallon? (I would rehome after they got too big but the sailfin is only 3in right now)
I have the Sailfin Tang in Qt and wanted to know if it would be a bad idea to get a Lemon Peel tang. I think they look cool.

They should mix together fine, especially as juveniles. But take precautions if you can.

I wouldn't recommend either for a 100 gallon.

Hope that helps

Hopefully you know that the mimic only sports the lemon peel colors as a juvenile. It’s a chocolate tang .... guess what colors it will end up LOL. Agree that a sail fin will quickly outgrow a 100. Funny fish though. I had one that was hyper aggressive, and then others that were not aggressive at all. Small sample size, but I found the Red Sea desjardins generally less aggressive.
