Lieutenant Tang x Orange Shoulder Tang
Snapshot: This hybrid showcases the best of both worlds, boasting a sleek, tan to brown body with a distinctive orange shoulder patch.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 35cm or so. Native to the tropical waters of the Western Pacific Ocean. This is a Tang mashup, two species collide to create a hybrid that's both fascinating and visually stunning!
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, or reef aquarium with plenty of swimming room. Larger size aquarium needed. Top-notch water quality.
Aquarium set-up: For a harmonious tank, introduce juveniles together and provide ample hiding spots and swimming space. Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes. But tread carefully — this Tang is sensitive to 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!
