Regal Tang SMALL

(Paracanthurus Hepatus)

What is the maximum size?
They can reach 30cm in the wild but generally seen at a maximum of 20cm in aquariums.

Where is its origin and where is it exported from?
The Regal Tang comes from the Indo-Pacific.

Is it Reef Compatible?
Generally safe. Will browse on any algae in the tank and may nip at some corals. Keep some dried algae in the tank for it to graze on.

What should I feed it?
Best to feed a varied diet with plenty of algae and frozen foods, live food and aquarium flake. Best kept with live rock as it’s a grazing fish.

How many can I keep?
This fish can be kept on its own, in pairs or in groups if introduced small. Only keep a group if you have a very large aquarium, they grow quickly and adult fish will quarrel if they find there is not enough space.

How compatible is it with other fish?
Provide hiding spaces as they are shy when first introduced and may be picked on. They are not too aggressive but may dominate a tank of smaller fish.

Can it be bred in the aquarium?
No
