Freshwater Tropical Aquarium Fish - Acanthuridae
ACANTHURIDAE Acanthurus sohal The sohal tang is one of the most beautiful of the Acanthurids. It can accept artificial vegetable food, but it prefers to feed on brine shrimps and ground mussels. Its territorial behavior sometimes makes it aggressive. Size: 25 cm. Naso brevirostris Young longnose unicorn fish do not have a horn. A related species, N. unicornis, only has a hump on its forehead. These two species are vigorous swimmers and mainly feed on algae; the adults are more carnivorous than the young. Size: 25-30 cm. Naso lituratus The smooth-headed unicorn fish is a relatively easy species to keep. Although generally placid, they can become aggressive if they are upset. The adults in this species have fine extensions to the tips of the caudal fin, while the juveniles have white patches. Size: 25 cm. Paracanthurus hepatus The blue coloring of the young turns gray on their belly and back once they reach adulthood. Somewhat unobtrusive, the hippo tang likes having hiding places. Size: 18 cm Zebra so ma flavescens The anal and dorsal fins of the zebrasomas are more developed than those of other tangs. These timid species must be provided .vith shelters. The coloring of the yellow tang varies according to ts geographical origins. Size: 18 cm. Zebrasoma veliferum When the sailfin tang is in motion, this beautiful swimmer tucks its fins along its body, although it does open them to “impress” other members of the same species and to chase them off its territory (the yellow tang does the same). Size: 30 cm.
