Blue Eye Tang

Blue Eye Tang (Ctenochaetus binotatus)
AKA Bristletooth Tang

Maximum size:
20cm

Suggested minimum aquarium size when adult:
250 litres

Difficulty:
Easy

Feeding:
Will eat frozen Mysis & Spirulina enriched Brineshrimp, will take dried foods readily when settled. Appreciates some vegetable matter e.g. dried seaweed.

Reef safe:
Considered reef safe. Will graze on algae

Compatibility:
Bristletooth Tangs are arguably the most peaceful of the family. Don't keep with other fish of a similar body shape or colouration, but should mix well with other similar size fish. Could be kept in a shoal in a very large aquarium if all added at the same time.

Other information.
Smaller than many other Tangs so better suited to aquariums with less swimming room. Has a deep Blue Eye, hence its name. Ctenochaetus Tangs appear less prone to Whitespot than some other Tangs.
