Gemmatum Tang
Snapshot: Flaunting a flattened, disc-shaped body adorned in deep blue hues with a constellation of tiny white spots. Vibrant yellow accents adorns its fins and tail!
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 22cm or so. Native to the tropical waters of Madagascar and Reunion Island in the vibrant Indian Ocean. They are your underwater acrobats, renowned for their swimming skills.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, or reef aquarium with plenty of live rock and swimming room.
Aquarium set-up: Don't be fooled by their size — these little dynamos need space to thrive! Opt for a larger aquarium, to accommodate their active lifestyle. Deck out their domain with plenty of live rock for grazing and exploration, and don't forget to incorporate caves and crevices to satisfy their hiding instincts. 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!
