When you are looking for the perfect fish to join your community, a brilliant option would be the Clown Tang, which also goes by the name of Striped Surgeonfish, Clown Surgeonfish, Lined Surgeonfish, or Blue-banded Surgeonfish, as well as the scientific name of Acanthurus lineatus.<\/p>\n

This remarkable fish is covered in bright, horizontal striping that encompass their bright yellow or orange bodies, accompanied by large peduncle spines. They are a member of the Tang family<\/a>, or Surgeonfish family, with their natural habitat being the waters of Fiji, the Maldives, and New Caledonia.<\/p>\n

Despite being beautiful and entertaining fish, they are very hard to keep, and require you to have plenty of experience in keeping saltwater fish of a similar size with similar requirements. The reason why they are hard to keep is that they are very aggressive fish, as well as being non-hardy, meaning they will pick up diseases easily if their tank requirements have not been met. <\/p>\n

Oh, and their tank requirements are very specific and must be monitored constantly, but more about that later. The last reason for clown tangs being hard to keep is that they are big fish, requiring a large fish tank, which, as you probably know, are extremely difficult to establish and maintain.<\/p>\n
