Tangs are commonly referred to as surgeon fish due to having a sharp spine that looks like a "scalpel" at the base of their caudal (tail) fin that is used for protection, use caution when handling. Adults tend to live alone in the wild, so they should not be kept with fish that look similar, like other tangs. However, they should be peaceful towards most other tank mates. Adult Convict Tangs are found in reef slopes and lagoons up to 90 meters deep in the Indo-Pacific region to Australia and Central America. Juveniles can be found tidal pools. They have bold black vertical lines that look almost tribal against their silver/tan-colored bodies. They will grow to be about 8" in size and the full-grown adults will need around 100 gallons; however, you can get away with smaller aquariums when they are juveniles.
