Bristletooth Flamefin Tomini Tang (Ctenochaetus tominiensis)

The Bristletooth Flamefin Tomini Tang is an exceptional addition to any saltwater aquarium, known for its stunning coloration, algae-eating efficiency, and peaceful demeanor. This compact tang, native to the Indo-Pacific, is a favorite among aquarists for its vibrant orange-edged fins and sleek grayish-brown body that shimmers under proper lighting.

Key Features:

• Size: Compact, reaching only 6 inches in maturity, making it perfect for medium-sized reef tanks (recommended minimum 70 gallons).

• Diet: Herbivorous, this tang is an algae powerhouse. Its bristle-like teeth make it a natural at keeping your aquarium free from nuisance algae, including diatoms and film algae.

• Temperament: Peaceful yet active, the Tomini Tang is compatible with a wide range of tank mates, from clownfish to invertebrates.

• Appearance: Striking orange highlights on its dorsal and caudal fins, coupled with a shimmering body, make it an eye-catching centerpiece.

• Water Parameters: Prefers stable conditions:

• Temperature: 74–80°F

• pH: 8.1-8.4

• Salinity: 1.018–1.026
