Keeping Sailfin Tang in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Minimum tank size: 120 gallons (450 liters)
• Compatibility: Generally compatible with other large, semi-aggressive fish. Can be aggressive towards other tangs, especially those of similar shape or coloration. Best kept as the only Zebrasoma species in a tank unless it is very large and introduced simultaneously.
