The Purple Tang is a beautiful Red Sea fish that is very desirable. It has a beautiful purple color with a bright yellow tail fin that makes for a striking combination.
The Purple Tang is a very active grazer but can be very aggressive with other tangs and must be added last in a large community tank. Keep up a proper diet to prevent lateral line disease that is common with Purple Tangs.
Have plenty of live rock in your tank. Tangs will graze on the live rock and it will provide necessary hiding areas and swim pass-throughs.
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.
