More about Gold rim tang

The Gold rim tang (Acanthurus nigricans) is a marine fish recognized for its striking appearance, characterized by its deep blue to black body and distinctive gold to yellow rim on its fin edges. Originally from the Indo-Pacific region, this species features a sleek, oval-shaped body common to tangs, with a single sharp spine located on the caudal area for defense. It is somewhat popular in the aquarium hobby, favored for its vibrant colors and dynamic personality, yet it requires a large tank and specific care to thrive in captivity.
