Quick Stats

Description

The Chevron Tang is a stunning and vibrant fish, recognized for its striking blue and yellow coloration, along with distinctive chevron patterns along its body. This tang is not only beautiful but also adds dynamic movement and personality to any marine aquarium, making it a popular choice among aquarists.

Native to coral reefs, the Chevron Tang is semi-aggressive and may exhibit territorial behavior, especially as it matures. It is best suited for larger tanks of at least 100 gallons, where it can establish a territory and swim freely. While generally compatible with other fish, care should be taken to avoid housing it with overly aggressive species.

As an herbivore, the Chevron Tang primarily feeds on algae, making it an excellent algae controller in the aquarium. A diet rich in marine algae, spirulina, and high-quality vegetable-based foods will help maintain its health and vibrant colors. This tang thrives in well-maintained environments with plenty of rockwork for grazing and hiding.

With its stunning appearance and functional role in maintaining a clean aquarium, the Chevron Tang is a valuable and captivating addition to reef tanks, offering both beauty and practicality for marine enthusiasts.
