Vlamingii Tang

$119.99

-

The Vlamingii Tang, also known as the Vlaming's Unicornfish, or Bignose Unicornfish has a body of a dark brown to purple color as an adult. As a juvenile, the color shifts from a lighter dorsal, and then darker ventrally. The body has vertical marks and blue highlights. The dorsal fin, the anal fin as well as the tail and face are each intricately elaborately carved in a stunning bright blue. A 360-gallon or bigger aquarium is essential to ensure ample space for swimming and hiding spots. The aquarium must have an elongated lid that prevents the fish from leaping out to escape. The fish is aggressive to other Tangs however, it is peaceful with other fish. It does not cause harm to sessile invertebrates inside the aquarium. While Tangs are known to eat meaty food alongside others in aquariums, it's essential that they get lots of seaweed-derived food from marine sources and algae. This can strengthen their immune system and lessen aggression, and improve overall health. Give dried seaweed that you tie to a rock, 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 easy to prepare. Approximate size of purchase: : Juvenile: Small: 1-1/2" to 3"; SubAdult: Medium: 3" to 4"; Adult: Large: 4-1/4" to 6-1/4"

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.
