Description

Ctenochaetus cyanocheilus, commonly known as the Short-tail bristletooth, is a small tang. When young they are completely yellow with a faint blue throat and thin rim around the anal and dorsal fin. Once they mature they become red-brown with stripes on their body and spot on the head. The mouth and throat become blue and the rim around the fins becomes bright blue. A real beautiful alternative for C. strigosus.

It can be aggressive towards other tangs and food competitors, but will generally leave other fish a lone. A great algae eater for a medium to large sized tank.

Like other tangs, it will eat meaty foods, but it's important it can graze on algae/seaweed the entire day to ensure it will stay healthy. So feed flakes/pellets multiple times a day and make sure there is always seaweed available.
