Purple Tang

Price: $189.00

Ask a question about this product

Gorgeous with its deep purple-blue body and a bright yellow tail, the Purple Tang or Yellow tail Tang is a great addition for a large aquarium. Once acclimated it is very hardy and disease resistant. It is also fairly easy to maintain with proper feeding and good water quality. However it is also rather rare. Though it is a good community fish, it does get territorial and can be aggressive to new additions to the tank as it gets older. Keep it singly as it does not mix with others of the same genus. Like all seven of the Zebrasoma species, though quite robust it has a tendency to develop Lateral Line Disease (LLD) if tank conditions or diet are neglected. It will need good nutrition along with lots of water movement to provide plenty of oxygen, good filtration, and regular water changes. It is also good at nibbling algae so can be asset in a reef environment,
