My yellow tang is now nine years old. It's my very first saltwater fish.

The Yellow Tang is a very nice fish to have in your tank. My Yellow Tang is 7 or 8 years old. Their vibrant yellow colour is a stunning addition to your tank. These fish are always moving through the reef and bring a active roll to your reef presentation.

Mine was 8 years old when I sold it, I hope Spiffy is alive and well.

Had a young one for 7 or 9 months but died unexpectingly . Was eating and swimming normal, the next time I looked at the tank he was floating by.

how aggressive are they compared to other tangs. i have always been so hesitant to add one because i have always heard they are bastards

Mine was almost 9 when she died. Probably my all time favorite fish.

One of my most favorite fish, great personality. Died when someone added something to my 90g holding tank.

My yellow is the most aggressive tang out of our 6 tangs, however he mostly leaves my sailfin (8") alone. My sailfin is the boss of him.

healthy & happy and going strong about 3.5 years in.
