Bignose Unicornfish
Snapshot: Also known as the Vlamingii Tang, its body is a canvas of greyish-brown or reddish-brown. It is adorned with tiny dark blue spots that dance into elegant stripes along its lower flanks.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to a whopping 60cm or so! Native to the tropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific region.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium. Colossol size aquarium needed.
Aquarium set-up: You'll need a beast of an aquarium to accommodate ample swimming space and secret hideouts. Don't forget the armored lid — essential for keeping this fishy daredevil from staging a great escape! 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!
