Indian Gold-Ring Bristletooth Tang
Snapshot: Also known as the Squaretail Bristletooth Tang. This beauty flaunts an orange-brown hue adorned with numerous pale blue to yellow spots on its head, body, and base of the dorsal fin. A striking yellow ring encircles its eye.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 16cm or so. Endemic to the Indian Ocean, it can be found along the Eastern African coast and off Southern Oman.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish only system, fish only system or reef aquarium.
Aquarium set-up: Create a fortress of rocks and corals at the tank's base — these fishy friends need a hideout and chill zone too! 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!
