The **Yellow Belly Regal Blue Tang** is a vibrant and eye-catching variation of the popular Blue Tang. This fish features a predominantly blue body with distinct black patterns and a light yellow belly. As they grow, the yellow on their belly becomes more pronounced. When young, they can be easily mistaken for their all-blue relatives.

These **Yellow Belly Regal Blue Tangs** can grow up to 12 inches and require a minimum tank size of 125 gallons. They are energetic swimmers, so a longer tank with ample swimming space is ideal.

**Yellow Belly Regal Blue Tangs** are generally peaceful with non-tang species and thrive in reef aquariums with invertebrates and coral. However, they can be quite aggressive towards other tangs, especially over food. In our experience, the **Yellow Belly Regal Blue Tang** is the dominant fish in our tank, even over a larger Black Tang. Introducing all tangs simultaneously or having a spacious tank can help reduce aggression.

As herbivores, **Yellow Belly Regal Blue Tangs** need a diet rich in greens. Foods like nori, algae sheets, high-quality flakes, pellets, and mysis shrimp will keep them healthy. They are prone to diseases like marine ich, so adding supplements such as selcon and garlic to their diet can boost their immune system. Quarantining them before introducing them to your aquarium is essential.
