Yellow Eyed Tang

[KidNano]

Anyone know anything about Yellow Eyed Tangs? My LFS has one and I fell in love with it. It seems really skittish and really active.

Ctenochaetus strigosus is the proper name but it is also known as a kole tang. It is from Hawaii and should really be housed in a 75g or larger tank. Grows to be ~5-7" long and likes to swim. It's less aggressive than most tangs but will still fight with it's own kind.

Thanks. did you know the proper name off hand or did you look it up? ;-)

When I can afford a bigger house I'm going to have an enourmous tank...... I'll probably wait to get one till then. Where would we be without our dreams?

I knew that kole tangs are also called yellow eyed tangs and the basic info I provided. I did look up the latin name though. Not much good if you googled a misspelled word.
