Yellow Tang: (Yellow Sailfin Tang)
Total size: 5 - 5 1/2in.
Scientific Name: Zebrasoma flacescens
Probably the most popular fish in marine history. Yellow tangs are found in tanks from fish restaurants to large public aquariums, to your home aquarium. Yellow tang are a great fish to have. They will take a big interest in any other yellow fish such as lemon peal dwarf angels. The rule to remember is: keep one tang in your tank. If you want more, then get three or more. Two doesn't work, because one will become dominant and constantly harrass your second. With more then no one tang is constantly picked on. This also goes for shape, meaning don't have just two fish from the same genus. Yellow tang, along with all the sailfin tangs such as the Purple tang (yellow fin tang), or Pacific tang, are well suited for your reef aquarium. They are all hardy lively fish. I can't imagine any home aquarium, whether reef, or fish only, with out a tang from this genus.

The very concept of existence is surreal. To be able to understand it, would cause you to first lose yourself in the concept of what is.

Beautiful fish. I love the vibrant yellow color. It's a very cool photograph. I used to have a jellybean parrot fish... (I believe their called) awesome fish.. they come in such vibrant neon colors.. blue, pink, yellow... but they must be the biggest (scardyfish) out of them all.. they were afraid of everything. It was quite funny actually.

Parrot fish are scardyfish? I didn't know that. I want to get some photos of some parrot fish but seaworld has them in a tank that is not very photofriendly. =(

Well both of mine were.. they were always hiding behind their rocks, they could see me sitting on the couch from across the room and the second I moved a finger, they'd freak. It was actually pretty funny. Beautiful fish though.
