A larger than 70 gallons aquarium is essential to ensure ample swimming space. Tangs can be aggressive with other Tangs however it is calm when it is with fish.
While Tangs are known to eat meaty food, it’s crucial that they receive ample amounts of seaweed that is marine-based and algae. This can strengthen their immune system and decrease aggression and improve overall health. Provide dried seaweed that you tie to a stone or the veggie clip and feed them at least three times a week. Sea Veggies, Seaweed Salad, and Ocean Nutrition are all ideal products that are simple to use.
