{"product_id":"sailfin-tang-fish","title":"Sailfin Tang Fish","description":"\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sailfin Tang, *Zebrasoma veliferum*, is a striking and popular addition to the marine aquarium, instantly recognizable by its dramatically tall dorsal and anal fins that can be raised like sails. Its body is typically a pale yellow to tan, adorned with numerous thin, vertical brown to black stripes that extend into its fins. The face often displays a pattern of spots and lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA minimum tank size of 180 gallons is recommended for a single Sailfin Tang to provide ample swimming space and room for grazing. They are active swimmers and require a mature aquarium with plenty of live rock for grazing on algae and providing hiding places. While generally peaceful towards other fish, they can be territorial towards other tangs, especially those of similar shape or size. Introducing them last to the aquarium is often advised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sailfin Tang is primarily a herbivore, and a significant portion of its diet should consist of marine algae. Offerings of dried seaweed (nori) attached to a rock or clip several times a week are essential. They will also readily consume high-quality marine flake and pellet foods, as well as occasional offerings of mysis shrimp or other meaty foods. A varied diet is crucial for their long-term health and vibrant coloration. In the wild, they can reach sizes exceeding 15 inches, but in the aquarium, they typically grow to around 10-12 inches. There are no readily apparent visual differences between males and females. Breeding in captivity is extremely difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zebrasoma veliferum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Aggressive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reef Safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indo-Pacific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Adult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Discover Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":53075085525281,"sku":"TT-6362-S","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53075085558049,"sku":"TT-6362-M","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":53075085590817,"sku":"TT-6362-L","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4044\/4961\/files\/IMG_6288-scaled.jpg?v=1784964356","url":"https:\/\/discoveraquaticsshop.com\/products\/sailfin-tang-fish","provider":"Discover Aquatics Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
