Description

The Doctorfish Tang known for its sharp scalpel like barbs on either side of the base of the caudal fin, has a bluish gray oval body with faint black vertical lines in the midsection.

 

The Doctorfish Tang is a relatively hardy tang that can get very sizeable. The Doctorfish Tang is very active and has a continuous appetite. Keep with other peaceful tangs and have plenty of live rock for grazing and shelter.

 

Tangs will eat just about all fish foods; Ocean Nutrition Pellets are a perfect diet. Feed tangs with plenty of marine-based seaweed, as this will keep them healthy. Try putting seaweed on a veggie clip, or break into small pieces and feed 2-3 times per week. Ocean Nutrition Seaweed contains garlic which helps the immune system in these colorful fish.
