Gem Tang (Zebrasoma gemmatum)
Origin: Gem Tangs are collected from the waters around the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.
Average Lifespan: Gem Tangs typically live for around 10 to 15 years in captivity, provided they receive proper care.
Aquarium Difficulty: Gem Tangs are considered moderately difficult to keep in aquariums due to their specific requirements for water quality and diet.
Fish Compatibility: Gem Tangs can be aggressive towards other tangs and similar species, so they are best kept in a single-species tank or with other peaceful fish that won't compete for space or food.
Diet: Gem Tangs are herbivores and require a diet rich in marine algae and seaweed. Providing them with a variety of vegetable-based foods is essential for their health and well-being.
Max Size: Gem Tangs can grow up to 10 inches (25 centimeters) in length, so they require a spacious aquarium with plenty of room to swim.
Please note: Gem Tangs are rare and expensive fish, often sought after by experienced hobbyists. Proper research and preparation are necessary before attempting to keep them in a home aquarium.
