What to know before you buy.
A gorgeous but challenging fish with a powder blue body and black mask. It is highly aggressive towards other tangs and extremely susceptible to ich, making it difficult to keep.
Key traits
Keeping Powder Blue Tang healthy in a South African setup.
Size the aquarium to Powder Blue Tang's adult size and activity level. Use robust décor and sight breaks so each fish can hold its own space.
Keep pH 8–8.4 and 24–27°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers; acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Herbivore. Feed small amounts it clears in a couple of minutes, and vary the diet.
Aggressive. Watch it at feeding time and at lights-out to see its real temperament in your tank.
Choose robust tankmates of similar size, and nothing small enough to be eaten. Add Powder Blue Tang last so territories reset.
Breeding success with Powder Blue Tang depends on the line and water chemistry; ask your shop about proven pairs.
