Lieutenant Tang
Snapshot: A true warrior, boasting a tan hue with bold dark lines. Catch the brilliant blue circling its scapulae and anal fin outline.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 31cm or so. Native to the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region including Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, or reef aquarium with plenty of live rock and swimming room. Larger size aquarium needed.
Aquarium set-up: To house this aquatic hero, you'll need a large tank with loads of live rock for swimming space and territorial bliss. 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!
