Surgeon Tang Surgeonfish (Acanthurus bahianus)

The Surgeon Tang, Acanthurus bahianus, is an active fish and thrives in a large aquarium, requiring ample space for swimming. Similar to other Tang species, the Surgeon Tang can show territorial behavior towards its own kind. It’s advisable to house only one per aquarium unless they are introduced together simultaneously.

While this fish will consume meaty foods with other aquarium inhabitants, it’s crucial to include a significant amount of marine-based seaweed and algae in its diet.

The Surgeon Tang is a popular and resilient choice for any aquarium setup.
