Within the surgeonfish family acanthuridae (Tang), there a few that really stand out as special beauties. The blue tang is among other tangs that are consistently treasured for their striking colors along with their prominent cousin, the yellow tang. These two major tangs are the faces of the surgeonfish family, as a result, they are especially accepted among saltwater aquarium hobbyists.

Given the scientific label Paracanthurus Hepatus, the blue tang fish is a staple offering in the marine trade that is collected in large numbers from the Indo Pacific. As a result, they usually are considered a less expensive than usual tang fish to buy. Expect to pay out somewhere between $30 and $50 for each specimen according on size. They are furthermore identified as the Regal tang along with the blue hippo tang.

They are prominently colored. Their whole body is a vivid electric blue with a prominent black marking on its upper half of the body that stretches close to to the back of the fish. The caudal fins on this tang are entirely yellow. There are a few variants that are known as the blue bellied blue tangs that do appear into the industry from time to time. These specimens more often than not cost quite a bit extra than standard specimens.

Considered a large fish, they can top out at a length of twelve inches in the aquarium. Tangs in the aquarium usually do not reach lengths of wild caught specimens so expect an usual adult length of approaching 10 inches. Similar to all members of the surgeonfish family, they can be susceptible to marine aquarium parasites plus lateral line erosion.

Lateral line erosion is thought to be a outcome of a nutritional inadequacy which is why it is exceptionally significant to try to copy their likely diets in the wild. They are a grazing species that group together in large shoals in the wild where these fish roam the reef in search of algae to graze on.

As they are above all vegetable eaters, such bias must be shown throughout feeding to make certain a lengthy and wholesome life in captivity. They are generally unproblematic feeders and will accept a wide diversity of foods together with dry pellets, frozen meat items as well as algae.

The Blue Tang (Paracanthurus Hepatus) enjoys the distinction of being one of the five most recognizable maine fishes along with the percula clownfish (Percula, Ocellaris), flame angelfish (Centropyge Loriculus), yellow tang (Zebrasoma Flavescens) and the royal gramma (Gramma Loreto). It remains the sole species under the genus Paracanthurus. Its body is a stunning bright blue while it has thick black markings that stretch out from its eyes to its tail.

The blue tang is also one of the stars of the hit movie, Finding Nemo. It is also known as the Palette Surgeonfish, Royal Blue Tang, Hippo Tang and the Regal Tang. Both the blue and yellow tangs combine to become the two most popular surgeonfishes in the hobby. Collected heavily from throughout the Indo-Pacific, it is a very affordable fish. Juveniles retail for around $25 while adults can fetch up to $80 per specimen. As with all surgeonfish, the blue tang is susceptible to ich and lateral line erosion so pick so keep a look out for any sign of the two.

The blue tang is a relatively peaceful fish towards other species outside the tang family. One of the reasons why it enjoys such popularity in the hobby. They can be hostile towards other surgeonfish, especially blue tangs so the general rule should be one blue tank per aquarium.

In they wild they are a shoaling fish. If many are kept together in a large tank they can often be seen swimming together. Always introduce multiple blue tangs at the same time. Aggression is normally seen when putting a new blue tang in with an established one.

Their maximum attainable length is 12 inches. Fish that size need tanks upwards of a 100 gallons. Due to heavy collection many, specimens no bigger than an inch are common. At that size they will grow very very fast so don't be fooled into putting them in a 30 gallon tank..

Ample swimming space are needed by blue tangs so the scape should reflect this. They need at least a few caves/niches as they bed down in these areas every night.

In the wild, blue tangs are primarily herbivores. They form large shoals and will graze on algae for most of the day. In captivity a vast percentage of their diet should be made up of algae based foods. They are completely reef safe (Unlike marine angelfish) making them very popular choices for larger reef aquariums.

Nori/seaweed sheets are a favorite offering among hobbyists. You can buy either branded seaweed (Julian Sprung)or you can run down to your local supermarket and get some cheap nori there. Buy unflavoured, plain nori. They sometimes come with spices so you want to avoid those. Clip the sheet with a commercial nori clip or a device of your own doing and attach it to the side of the tank.

While they are mainly vegetarians in the wild, they will normally consume anything that is offered in a saltwater aquarium. Meaty foods should make up a small percent of their daily diet.

High quality food mixes like formula one and formula two should be offered as well as mysis shrimp and a good pellet food. New Life Spectrum produces some excellent pellets for all marine fishes.

You may see lettuce being fed to surgeonfish at pet stores. Both romaine and iceberg lettuce don't offer much nutritionally so you want to avoid lettuce altogether.
