Question and Answer

Q I cannot deside whether to keep a Yellow Tang or a Regal Tang. I already have a clownfish with anemone, a Bicolor angel and a Bicolor Blenny.

A Either will be fine with the fishes you have. However the Yellow Tnag looks at its best when in a group so the regal tang is probably best for you.

Yellow Seahorse

This animal have a short life in the aquarium they do best in a very quiet invertebrate aquarium where is no competetion for food they need to be fed at least two times a day on live brain shrimps.

Do not keep this species unless you are fully experienced and you can provide it with plenty of live feed every day and absolutely top-quality water.
