yellow tang care

[diverxxx]

The Yellow Tang is a "must have fish" for many marine fish enthusiast and marine system. The Yellow Tang is an active swimmer that will glide throughout your aquarium in near constant motion, acting as an aquarium tour guide of sorts to any onlooker who follows its meandering swim path.

The Yellow Tang's natural habitat is actually widespread throughout Indonesia and the Great Barrier Reef but also most common in the reefs of Hawaii. The Yellow Hawaiian Tang is also known as the Yellow Sailfin Tang or Yellow Surgeonfish.

The Yellow Tang is best kept should in an aquarium of at least 100 gallons with ample room to swim. Like other Tangs, this member of the Acanthuridae family demonstrates territorial aggression towards its own species, or Tangs in general. Therefore, it is best to keep just one Yellow Hawaiian Tang per aquarium, unless multiple Yellow Hawaiian Tangs are introduced into the system simultaneously.

Although the Yellow Tang will eat meaty foods along with the other fish in the aquarium, it is important that the Yellow Tang is offered plenty of marine based seaweed and algae. I fed mine with green seaweed everyday 2 days, they just love to graze every time it passes by.

The dried green seaweed is infused with garlic to strengthen its immune system, reduce aggression and improve overall health.

The Yellow Hawaiian Tang is a very common, extremely popular, and hardy addition to any fish-only or reef aquarium system.
