Wow that's a swimmer who doesn't like the camera at all ;) To specify... it's a Acanthurus lineatus, to know if they will be compatible with your tang, get the scientific (Latin?) name and see if it doesn't start with Acanthurus. Then you know if it's compatible. For me that's easier then see the body shape ;) Would love to have one, don't have any Acanthurus so I could and space enough
I had one for 13 years. Got him as a juvenile, took him home from the pet store BEFORE he was acclimated to the store, basically I took him home in the shipping bag from the airport. I introduced him with a juvenile powder blue tang. Never any compatible issues. He did laps around my tank (150 gal). Aggression during feeding time, I had to use heavy duty rubber gloves when cleaning the tank. They WILL bite you, and the bristle teeth hurt. So basically, if you see him doing laps around the tank, he's pissed. I've had my share of tangs, lol. Don't hesitate to buy one of these beautiful guys. Water quality and spiralina, are main key. Just don't get bit by him .
Hard fish to keep. Try to start with a healthy one. I got one and it was emaciated. Could not get it to eat and in a desperate attempt to save it I tried to force feed him. But he was to far gone.
I've been tempted to buy one of them but sometimes they're too big or they aren't grazing on the rocks in the store tank. A tang that isn't grazing is a red flag for me since I want to know that they will be able to handle aquarium life when there are algae.
I can finally trust someone’s information! My LFS has a new guy and boy is he crap at his job, He put two large angelfish in the same tank together (One was established-) and they’re both in the same genus, and he put two tangs in tanks next to eachother, they nonstop beat the glass and one was found dead the next day
@@0.-.0 I worked at the LFS and stopped that stuff from happening but I then had school and so stopped that and now the shop has begun to kill fish from stress and stuff
New to the hobby Ignored all the good advice on UA-cam about not making impulse buys and bought a small Clown Tang because we liked the colours. (I blame my wife because I wanted to get a Royal Gramma but she preferred the Clown Tang!!) It was hyper from the moment I put it in the tank. It seemed to eat anything and did nibble on algae. My nice Banggai Cardinal died a week after I introduced the Clown Tang - I don't think it was being aggressive towards it but just stressed it with its constant swimming at top speed! My Dart Fish disappeared into the rock never to be seen again. Everything went way too frantic so I bought a fish trap and returned it. I did try to catch it in a net - no chance at all is an understatement! I did have fun with the trap - took me 3 days to get him (her?) Cost me £33 as I only got 30% of the value back on the Tang plus £42 for a fish frap and £39 for a small replacement tank bred Banngai. So in total a £114 mistake and my poor Banggai paid the ultimate price for my mistake - which is the only thing I really care about The tank has now returned to its former serenity and my Dart Fish is out and about again !
@@BrockLeonard:) I meant the Swissguard with red stripes, it’s an Atlantic / Caribbean fish. :) but yeah basically the same fish as the other two. Lipropoma (?) rubre
Klein butterfly is the easiest butterfly but not as physically pretty as it’s cousins you could use the same care guide as the spot banned, Cream angels are cool but pretty mean in my experience. Lavender tang is the same level of care as a orange shoulder.
@@aquaticfury5273 There’s a couple other ones rated as “Good” by Scott W. Michael and Bob Fenner. Guenther’s, Atlantic Reef, subgenus Roaps, Tahiti (closest relative of the Klein’s), Lemon, and the Barberfish to make a few. Are Lavender and Orange Shoulders easy to keep? What about the Cream Angels are they drab in your opinion? Thanks.
Members of this Family are known as Surgeonfishes, because of a unique anatomical feature. The caudal peduncle houses a pair of retractable bones that are shaped like, and as sharp as, surgical scalpels. These bones are usually kept retracted, but will be deployed if the fishes encounter a threat or territorial rival, and when deployed, they can inflict horrific injuries upon other fish - or your arms if they're in the line of fire. You can tell where these bones are located, because there's an oval mark on the caudal peduncle, marking the location of the sheath into which the bones are retracted when not in use. One exception to the rule are members of the Genus Naso, which have two pairs of "scalpels" that are always prominently protruding from the caudal peduncle. You need to handle fishes in that Genus with special care when moving them from one aquarium to another.
I currently have 2 Benghai cardinals, 2 clowns & a Leopard Wrass in my tank. Would a Clown Tang get along? I'm assuming the cleaner and Fire Shrimp are not an issue as well. Thank You!
180 is not a good minimum, 240 (96”x24”x24”) is much better, unless you can care for them avoid the, young emaciated specimens are most commonly available in my area but are difficult to revive.

Could I add a clown tang with my sailfin tang? The sailfin tang is a bit bigger than the clown tang?
Yes
Not sure how a clown tang would get along with my lennardi wrasse given the similar colors and stripes. Thoughts?
