Description
Sailfin Tang Round Fin Zebrasoma Velifer
The Sailfin Tang, also known as the Velifer Tang or Zebrasoma velifer, is a vibrant and popular marine aquarium fish. It is native to the Indo-Pacific region, found in shallow coral reef environments. The Sailfin Tang is bright yellow in color, with a distinctive elongated dorsal fin that resembles a sail. As adults, they can grow up to 20 cm in length. They are primarily herbivorous, feeding on benthic algae and marine plants in the wild. In captivity, they should be provided with a varied diet of high-quality algae-based foods. Sailfin Tangs are generally peaceful fish, but can be territorial and aggressive towards other tangs or surgeonfish. They are best kept with other peaceful, non-aggressive tank mates. Proper aquarium size and water parameters are crucial for their well-being, as they require a minimum tank size of 180 gallons with excellent water quality and strong water movement. Sailfin Tangs are recommended for experienced marine aquarium hobbyists, as they can be challenging to care for and are prone to certain diseases, such as marine ich. With the right setup and care, however, they can thrive and add a vibrant splash of color to any reef aquarium.
