Sohal Tang
Snapshot: The Sohal's mesmerizing beauty boasts contrasting stripes, light and dark, with jet-black fins edged in electric blue.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to a whopping 40cm or so! This beauty is endemic to the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium with plenty of live rock. Larger sized aquarium needed. Can be challenging when it is fully grown, due to its size and semi-aggressive nature.
Aquarium set-up: As they grow, they will require plenty of swimming space so house them in a larger sized aquarium. 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!
