Description
The Convict Tang is a member of the surgeonfishes and is one of the most peaceful of the available tangs. It has a stunning white to silver body highlighted by six vertical black bars. The peduncle spines are rather small compared to that of other Tangs. Convict Tangs will need at least a 75 gallon tank (284 liters), preferably larger, to allow for adequate swimming space. They can be fairly hardy once acclimated but will not do well in a tank that has not completed the aquarium nitrogen cycle.
