Powder Blue Tang Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Powder Blue Tang in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: herbivore
• Minimum tank size: 125 gallons (473 liters)
• Compatibility: Can be kept with other robust, non-aggressive fish. Generally not compatible with other tangs unless introduced simultaneously into a very large tank, and even then, aggression can be an issue. Avoid keeping with very docile or slow-moving species.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with ample live rock for grazing and hiding. Excellent water quality and strong water flow are essential. A varied diet of marine algae, spirulina, and high-quality herbivore flakes/pellets is crucial for health and color. Prone to marine ich (Cryptocaryon irritans) if stressed or water quality is poor.
