Known for being active and somewhat delicate, they require experienced care, a minimum of 150–180 gallons, and strong, well-oxygenated water flow. They are herbivorous, needing extensive grazing (nori, algae) and are prone to stress-related ich, making them best for established tanks. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal; mso-hyphenate: auto;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003eKey Aspects for the Aquarium Hobby:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-hyphenate: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003e Distinctive, dark, almost black, with a bright orange teardrop at the base of the tail and white\/blue accents on the fins.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-hyphenate: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003eSize \u0026amp; Lifespan:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003e Grows to 9-10 inches (25 cm) and can live for over 10 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-hyphenate: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003e Generally aggressive towards other tangs and food competitors;best kept as the only \u003ci\u003eAcanthurus\u003c\/i\u003e species in the tank.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-hyphenate: auto; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003eTank Requirements:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;\"\u003e A minimum 150-180 gallon tank is necessary for swimming space.
