The White Tail Yellow Eye Tang (Ctenochaetus flavicauda), also known as the Whitetail Bristletooth Tang or Yellow Eye Kole Tang, inhabits shallow reef slopes and lagoons in the Indo-Pacific region, where it grazes on algae and detritus. Reef-safe and peaceful with other fish, it reaches 7 to 9 inches in length and lives 5 to 7 years. To provide the best care for your White Tail Yellow Eye Tang, maintain a tank with a minimum size of 120 gallons (284 liters). This ensures ample swimming space and helps reduce territorial conflicts. Water conditions should mimic their natural habitat, with a pH level between 8.1 and 8.4, a salinity level of 1.020-1.025, a stable temperature between 74-78°F (23-26°C), and moderate water flow to simulate ocean currents. With a deep red striped body, shining white tail, and small golden circles around its eyes, it adds vibrancy to aquariums. Suitable tank mates include Flame Angelfish, Royal Gramma, Lawnmower Blenny, Six-Line Wrasse, and Coral Beauty Angelfish.


Compatible Tank Mates Include: Flame Angelfish (Centropyge loriculus), Royal Gramma (Gramma loreto), Lawnmower Blenny (Salarias fasciatus), Six-Line Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus hexataenia), and Coral Beauty Angelfish (Centropyge bispinosa)
