A great Guttatus Mustard Tang!

There once was a Guttatus Tang,
With colors that really did clang,
Its mustard hue,
Made it stand out anew,
A true beauty that made hearts pang.

With a sharp spike on the tail,
This fish was sure not to fail,
To defend its turf,
With that pointy surf,
A predator's worst nightmare tale.

But despite its fierce defense,
This Tang had a calm elegance,
It swam with grace,
In every place,
A true wonder of nature's brilliance.

Keeping Guttatus Mustard Tang in an Aquarium

The Guttatus Mustard Tang, also known as Acanthurus guttatus, is a popular choice for saltwater aquarium enthusiasts. Here are some things to keep in mind when caring for this fish in your aquarium:

Diet

The Guttatus Mustard Tang is an herbivore and requires a diet of algae and other plant matter. It is important to provide a variety of foods, such as seaweed, spirulina, and other algae-based foods. You can also supplement their diet with pellets or flakes specifically designed for herbivorous fish.

Behavior

The Guttatus Mustard Tang is a peaceful fish that can be kept with other non-aggressive fish. They are active swimmers and require plenty of space to swim. They may become aggressive towards other tangs or fish with a similar body shape, so it is important to introduce them slowly and monitor their behavior.
