Description

The Achilles Tang is one of the most beautiful surgeonfish. It has very striking colors on a large oval robust body and will be the show piece in any aquarium; the shaded dark body has nice visible orange accents and additional white outlining on the fins.

 

The Achilles Tang needs an expert hand due to its demanding nature. Have plenty of live rock and swimming room and moderate water movement in the aquarium. The Achilles Tang will become more bold when comfortable in its new surroundings, keep only one per tank and feed well.

 

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.
