i have a question my yellow tang isn't yellow he's kind of pale and it looks like his fin is getting gone at his dorsal and anal fin

[ThatPetPlace]

@meowey55 usually loss of color, and fin loss, is from a combination of long term dietary and/or water quality issues. Make sure that the fish is getting a good varied diet of foods high in algae and quality ingredients, as well as a regular supplental meals of dried or fresh marine alagaes. Water quality should be monitored regularly, and maintaining proper chemistry is crucial to good health and color in these fish.

can u help me please because My yellow tang fish tank raised is dying and I am just wondering what do u treat your yellow tang fish when it is almost dying or breathing in a home family aquarium reef? all the fish u selling are wild or tank raised? do u frag corals sometimes if they are large?

[ThatPetPlace]

We sell both wild caught and tank-raised fish. There are a limited number of fish on the market that are tank raised, but we try to bring them in for sale when they are available from suppliers, currently clowns and dittybacks are the most frequently offered types, though there are more species showing up every year as the science behind aquaculture expands. We do periodically frag corals that we have grown out in tanks here, and we also frag other colonies if the colony is ailing.

@tomdasa123 I would not reccomend a Yellow Tang for a tank that small, 110l is only 29 gallons. These fish get fairly large, I say that 55 gallons is the minimum for even a small specimen.

[ThatPetPlace]

@tomdasa123, a tank of that size would make a good home for a young Yellow Tang, but would not be an adequate longterm solution for one as it grows. You would definitely need to upgrade to a larger tank as it grew to maintain a healthy environment.
