The yellow tang is a grazing fish with a diet of almost anything that is green (ie. alge, grass, lettuce).
It is not unheard of for the fish to eat meat. Even though this fish is generaly an herbivore the tang has been known to eat shrimp and other smaller animals. This varying diet may even include excrements from other fish.
This small fish is very territorial; especially in the presence of another tang fish. The yellow tang is also in the sergeant fish family.
The tang fish does not require a lot of space in which to live. But please take in mind when using the tang in an aquarium that it needs a constant flow of water. Not much but some, it helps the fish stay in shape and keeps the fish in good health. |
