Paracanthurus hepatus – Iconic Blue Tang for Reef Aquariums
Paracanthurus hepatus, known as the blue tang or "Dory," is one of the most popular marine fish in aquariums. Native to the Indo-Pacific, it captivates with its vibrant intense blue and yellow colors, its characteristic palette-shaped black line, and its exceptional longevity that can exceed 20 years in captivity.
A Sociable, Active, and Easy-to-Observe Fish
This tang is a very sociable fish, tolerating both its own kind and fish from other species. It naturally moves alone or in groups and is constantly active, swimming continuously through the decor in search of algae or food. Its lively behavior makes it an essential visual asset in any large reef tank.
Maintenance Conditions
- Recommended minimum volume: 500 liters
- Temperature: between 23°C and 27°C
- pH: between 8.2 and 8.4
- Decor: rich in hiding spots with large free swimming areas
- Life span in aquarium: up to 20 years
Behavior and Compatibility
Paracanthurus hepatus is peaceful with other fish and very suitable for a community aquarium. It can coexist with many invertebrates and corals. It is possible to introduce several individuals provided they are acclimated together. Our specimens are kept by size in the same tanks to facilitate their introduction in groups.
Diet
- Fresh or dried algae (nori)
- Vegetarian and mixed pellets
- Occasional brine shrimp and mysis
Although primarily herbivorous, the Paracanthurus hepatus enjoys a varied diet. Good nutrition enhances its colors and vitality.
Why Choose Paracanthurus hepatus?
- Bright colors: deep blue, yellow tail, iconic black line
- Active and sociable behavior
- Remarkable longevity (20+ years in captivity)
- Reef-compatible, peaceful fish and invertebrates
- Ideal for community aquariums from 500 liters
Paracanthurus hepatus is the blue tang of choice for any reef aquarist enthusiast. Sociable, colorful, and active, it quickly becomes the star of your marine tank while remaining robust and accessible.

La livraison s'est très bien passée même si je n'ai eu aucune notification du transporteur. Le poisson se porte très bien, il est resté caché 24 heures et maintenant il évolue tranquillement dans le bac. Merci Récifathome.
