Bariene Tang
Snapshot: Also known as the Black Spot Tang. Sporting earthy hues, this fish boasts brown shading that transitions to yellowish-brown on its belly. Its body features irregular horizontal lines in greyish-blue, and a distinctive black spot by the gill opening.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to a whopping 51cm or so! Native to the waters of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean including from the Seychelles to the Solomons. They are top-notch algae wranglers for aquariums.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium. Plenty of live rock. Colossol size aquarium needed.
Aquarium set-up: Incorporate live rock for hiding, algae growth, and natural filtration. Craft caves and overhangs to provide essential shelter. 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!
