Yellow tang fish facts

Answer 1

The entire Tang Fish family are very interesting, but I'll try to give you just a quick summary of the important facts

- Tang Fish are herbivores and their diet consists mainly of zooplankton and algae such as caulerpa and gracilias. Even in an aquarium setting their diet needs to be mainly algae

- Another name for the Tang Fish is the Surgeonfish

- The Tang Fish family has over 75 different varieties

- While they are a popular aquarium fish, it's important to note certain species can be very aggressive and territorial, so care must be taken when putting them into a new tank

- There has never been a report of Tang Fish breeding in captivity

- 'Dory and Bubbles' from the movie "Finding Nemo" was a Tang Fish

-I literally just skimmed the surface, but I hope it helped! The fish known as tangs and surgeonfish are well represented in aquariums. People buy tang fish for their bold coloration and interesting body shapes. these tropical marine species can be kept with most other fish. Do not house them in tanks with other tangs or fish that look like tang in shape or color though(aggressive).
