The Convict Tang has a whitish body and 5 to 6 vertical black bands running down its side. The dorsal fin is slightly yellow.
It makes a nice addition to any peaceful community tank. They are very docile and rarely bother other tank mates; more than one can be housed together if introduced simultaneously.
Have plenty of live rock in your tank. Tangs will graze on the live rock and it will provide necessary hiding areas and swim pass-throughs.
Tangs will eat just about all fish foods; Ocean Nutrition Pellets are a perfect diet. Feed tangs with plenty of marine-based seaweed, as this will keep them healthy. Try putting seaweed on a veggie clip, or break into small pieces and feed 2-3 times per week. Ocean Nutrition Seaweed contains garlic which helps the immune system in these colorful fish.
