Black Longnose Tang
Snapshot: This stunner sports a jet black oval body accented by striking blue pectoral fins. It also has a conspicuous white spot near its tail's spines.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 22cm or so. Native to the tropical waters of the Central Pacific Ocean including the Solomons, Pitcairn and French Polynesia. A true crown jewel among tangs, as it stands as the least common member of the Zebrasoma genus.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, or reef aquarium with care.
Aquarium set-up: Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: For tangs, algae is king! Load up on algae-based essentials like toasted nori sheets, algae flakes, and pellets. And for a gourmet twist, treat them to frozen brine shrimp enriched with spirulina. It's an algae feast fit for royalty!
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
