Why We Like It:

A true statement tang, the Desjardini Sailfin is instantly recognisable by its tall dorsal and anal fins and intricate spotted striping. Active and bold, it adds constant movement and scale to large reef systems while helping with algae control. Best suited to spacious tanks with strong flow and plenty of swimming room. A classic centrepiece species with real presence once established.
