    Powder Brown Tang - Acanthurus japonicus

    Got myself this power brown tang 2 weeks ago and it as made itself at home in my tank
    This picture does not do it justice. You have to see them in person to appreciate how incredible their colors really are.

    The Powder Brown Tang comes from the Western Indo Pacific and is a better choice than the Powder Blue Tang because it adapts better to aquarium life as iv found out with having power blue tangs in the passed.

    Why not get a Bicolor Blenny they are a lovly fish to have, mine is always swimming a round from rock to rock and you could add a Sailfin/Algae Blenny which would help in eating all the algae.

    And there is always a Banded Coral Shrimp and another good thing for the tank is a Tuxedo Urchin.

    Well i'm sorry to say my Powder Brown Tang did not last long

    it died sunday just gone ....I think that I should take a bit more time watching these fish and making sure they feed well before I buy them.
