Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
Tangs are commonly referred to as surgeon fish due to having a sharp spine that looks like a "scalpel" at the base of their caudal (tail) fin that is used for protection, use caution when handling. The Desjardinii Sailfin Tang can grow to be over a foot in size, so they will need substantial swimming room. Full grown adults of this tang will need around 180 gallons; however, you can get away with smaller aquariums when they are juveniles. Adults can be found in small groups in lagoons and seaward reefs from the low surge zone to about 30 meters deep. Juveniles are usually found solitary in sheltered inner reefs for protection. They are found within the Indian Ocean. The Sailfin Tang is decorated with broad yellow stripes that are alternated with dark brown and white. Then they are littered with different colored freckles.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
