Product Description

The Blue Tang boasts a vibrant electric blue body dressed with bold
black markings. In fact, the black that begins at the eyes, traces the
dorsal line down to the tail, and circles back above the pectoral fin to
create a unique shape reminiscent of a painter’s palette. It is
also called the Pacific Blue Tang, and Hepatus or Regal Tang. Regardless
of common name, Paracanthurus hepatus is equal parts beauty and
peacefulness that suits almost any large community marine aquarium.Native to reefs across the Indo-Pacific, the Blue Tang relishes a good
hiding location amongst live rock. However, this active fish also loves
to swim. Therefore, ample room to roam around your aquarium is essential
for optimum health. Though peaceful towards most tankmates, the Pacific
Blue will become aggressive towards other fish of its own species. To
keep multiple specimens, introduce the entire lot at once into a larger
marine system.Although Tangs will eat meaty foods along with the other fish in the
aquarium, it is important that they are offered plenty of marine based
seaweed and algae. This will strengthen the Blue Tang’s immune system,
reduce aggression and improve their overall health. Offer dried seaweed
tied to a rock or use a
veggie clip, and feed at least three times per week.
Sea Veggies,
Seaweed Salad and
Ocean Nutrition are all ideal products and are very easy to use.Proper care of the Blue Tang requires a slightly higher degree of
dedication and attention as it is more susceptible to lateral line
disease, fin erosion, Ich and other skin parasites than many other fish.
Ensure highest water quality and a varied diet, rich in nutritious
marine-base vegetables to keep your Blue Tang in optimal health.
