Tang questions. Your opinion please

Well you can always just create a better environment for them and adopt them out later. I did that with a Blue tang that I rescued from petco. Well haven’t adopted it out yet, but the day is coming fast.

I guess I am not into deformed fish. If I have a choice, I only buy fish that will fully recovered. Sometimes, I don't have a choice, especially when I mail order animals sight unseen.
I may get the Scopas Tang but not this Sailfin. I don't have a lot of experience with Scopas tangs, I always fine Yellow and Purple tangs more attractive. If this Scopas tank remain this color, it is a very beautiful fish, but fish always change color in my tank, with color always become more vivid. In this particular case darker coloration will, IMO, decrease the attractiveness of this particular Scopas.
Thanks everybody.

I never keep a Scopas but this is my baby Sailfin from 30 years ago. This was the last Sailfin I had since they grow so big. IMO, I think they are even too big for my 420 gal tank.

I had a scopas and let me tell you now:
The aggression in those guys is nothing like the other Zebrasoma species, the purple is even nicer IME. Mine killed anything new and even with tactics of introducing several fish it still murdered my first ever CBB.

They do grow pretty big but what’s the biggest seen on captivity ?
