About Thompsons Surgeonfish

General information

When planning your aquarium, keep in mind that in the wild, Thompson's Surgeonfish are found schooling in steep outer reef slopes and drop-offs over coral and sand. They prefer feeding on large gelatinous zooplankton, fish eggs, and crustaceans. Provide plenty of water movement and aeration to best replicate their natural habitat.
