Yellow Tang

The Yellow Tang is a type of salty water fish that is associated with the family of Acanthuridae. It includes the famous aquarium fish and seems beautiful and remarkable yellow animals. Yellow tangs consume other types of marine plant matter and benthic turf algae in the wild. They are frequently fed meat- and fish-based aquarium food while kept in captivity, but the long-term health effects of this diet are debatable.

Adult fish can reach lengths of 20 centimeters and thicknesses of 1-2 centimeters. Adult males are often bigger than adult females. Bright yellow is the color of yellow tangs. The yellow hue dims a little at night, and a large brownish area with a horizontal white band appears in the center. During daylight hours, they quickly take on their dazzling yellow color. They may harm coral in a reef tank, are potentially aggressive, and are susceptible to marine ich. Yellow tangs can be found in both male and female forms. Males can be distinguished during mating because they change their color and exhibit a "shimmering" characteristic.
