Zebra Tang
Snapshot: Not to be confused with the Convict Tang, this look-alike has bold, thick black barring cutting across its pale body. This beauty is considered another holy grail for collectors.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 11cm or so. Distributed throughout the East Indian Ocean, and West Indian Ocean.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, or reef aquarium. Well established and mature aquariums only.
Aquarium set-up: The Zebra thrives in an environment where it can cruise the rocks, grazing on algae like a boss. Give it plenty hideouts tucked between live rock so it can dip in and out. 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!
