The Mustard Guttatus Tang is an impressive species that requires a large aquarium to truly thrive. A 250 gallon tank or larger will provide plenty of space for this fish to swim and explore. It is important to provide a substantial amount of live rock in the aquarium to allow the Tang to graze and also provide hiding spots. This species can be aggressive with other Tangs and Surgeonfish, but is peaceful with other fish. Therefore, it is important to choose tankmates carefully to ensure the health and safety of the Tang. With the right environment, the Mustard Guttatus Tang can be a beautiful and entertaining addition to any aquarium.

Although Tangs will eat meaty foods along with the other fish in the aquarium, they are best off eating a diet full of fresh, healthy marine based seaweed and algae. This will help them to strengthen their immune system, reduce aggression and improve their overall health. Offer dried seaweed tied to a rock or use a lettuce clip, and feed them at least 3 times per week. Sea Veggies, Seaweed Salad and Ocean Nutrition are all great products and are very easy to use.
