Very similar to the Yellow Tang, except this one is typically rare in the trade. Defiantly a striking fish with its jet black body and blue pectoral fins. This one can become very territorial and aggressive. Introduce to the tank last. |

The Black Longnose Tang (Zebrasoma rostratum) is sometimes called a Black Sailfin Tang or a Longnose Surgeonfish. It belongs to the family named Acanthuridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 9.7 inches in length, the Black Longnose Tang is aggressive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Zebrasoma rostratum should not be housed in a tank less than 100 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area, plenty of hiding places, and a well established aquarium.
