The Yellow Hawaiian Tang is for many aquarists, the definitive fish of home saltwater aquariums. With its oval-shaped, vibrant yellow body, Zebrasoma flavescens brightens any marine system. The Yellow Hawaiian Tang is an active swimmer that will glide throughout your aquarium in near constant motion, acting as an aquarium tour guide of sorts to any onlooker who...

Tangs are by far my favorite fish and the yellow tang was the first fish that i bought unlike most of the other tangs yellow tangs are not that expensive. mine was very easy to take care of all i did was has good flow for it to swim in and add food for him to eat. and the color mine was actually a brighter yellow then the other yellow tangs that i have seen and he seemed to alwayse come to the glass when you were looking in..he was the star of my tank and i believe that if you buy one you will love yours justa s much as i loved mine.

Important member of the reef
| Comments |
One of my first fish was a Yellow Tang. After he got established in the tank, he would kill any newcomers. I could not add anymore fish. One day I noticed it had severely injured one of my Clownfish. I got rid of the Tang the next day. I recently replaced that fish with another Yellow Tang with much better results. The Tang goes about his business cleaning any bits of algae growing on the live rock. The fish adds such beauty, color and movement to the tank. It is a must have in an aquarium large enough to house one.

A large tank is necessary

Winderful Peaceful Fish.

I found mine to very easy to care for. It would eat pretty much anything you drop into the tank but you will need to supplement lots of green and red algae to feed it properly or you might have a hard time with lateral line disease. This fish even for its rather large size is very peaceful and a great addition to a larger tank. If you are feeding them correctly you can literally watch them grow. They are very active swimmers and are all over the place. I had mine in a 55 gallon as a juvenile but as everybody suggests you will need a much larger tank to house one properly. Mine loved green seaweed sheets.

Iconic fish
| Comments |
I absolutely love Yellow Tangs, they are beautiful fish. They are a fairly easy fish to take care off with the proper sized tank, which most recommend a 100 gallon tank minimum. They need plenty of swimming room. They also need plenty of greens in there diet, either through seaweed strips or green flake food or pellets. They will eat meaty food also IME. As long as they are being treated, and fed good they are model citizens in a reef tank. They do get big pretty fast so don't think you can get a baby and put him in a small tank because he will outgrow it very fast.

The color just adds so much character to any tank I can't see how anybody wouldn't like them. They are a very peaceful and best of all reef safe fish. And they do a great job at cleaning the live rock af any algae in between feedings.

I wish they could be kept in a little bit of a smaller tank but they just get to big and need to swim.
