The **Gold Rim Tang** is a visually striking and energetic surgeonfish. These fish feature a predominantly dark body accented with vivid yellow lines along their fins and a white tail.

**Gold Rim Tangs** can grow up to 8 inches in length and require a minimum tank size of 125 gallons. Generally peaceful, they coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, but may show aggression towards other tangs, especially those of the Acanthurus species. To minimize aggression, introduce all tangs simultaneously and ensure a constant supply of algae for grazing.

These tangs thrive in aquariums with ample horizontal swimming space and mature live rock for grazing between meals. **Gold Rim Tangs** are prone to diseases like marine ich, so quarantine them before adding to your main tank. Enhance their immune system by adding supplements like selcon and garlic to their diet. As herbivores, they need a diet rich in greens, including nori, marine algae sheets, high-quality pellets, flakes, and frozen foods like mysis and brine shrimp.
