Lieutenant Tang

General information

The Lieutenant Tang is from the reefs of the Maldives Islands and is mostly tan in color with darker lines outlining the body of the fish. The scapulae are circled in a brilliant blue as well as the outline of the anal fin. The tail in time will take on a forked appearance as the trailers grow. A large aquarium with large amounts of live rock is necessary to provide both plenty of swimming room, and territories within the live rock. It is aggressive toward other Tangs and Surgeonfish but is peaceful with other fish.
