Lavender Tang, also known as the Spot-Cheeked Surgeonfish is found in huge groups on reefs in the Central Pacific. The beautiful fish is colored with shades of tan and lavender and features numerous spots of orange on its face. The orange spots are the clue to numerous black spots that cover the rest of the body while the tail has been split. A 125 gallon or greater is required to give plenty of space for swimming. Live rock is favored by this species to graze and provides plenty of structure for hiding spots and territorial areas. It can be aggressive with the other Tangs and Surgeonfish, however, it is peaceful with other species of fish. While Tangs can eat meaty foods, it's crucial that they receive lots of marine-based seaweed and algae. This will boost the immune system of Tangs, decrease aggression, and boost their overall health. Provide dried seaweed that is tied to a rock, or an organic clip and feed them at least three times a week. Sea Veggies, Seaweed Salad, and Ocean Nutrition are all ideal products and are extremely user-friendly. Approximate Size of Purchase: Small: 1-1/4" to 2-1/4" ; Small/Medium: 2-1/4" to 3-1/4" ; Medium: 3-1/4" to 4-1/4" ; Medium/Large: 4-1/4" to 5-1/4"

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
