Show me your fish found around Indonesia!

i cant think · Nov 2, 2021

I’m doing an Indonesian dominant tank and wanted some ideas of fish from Indonesia - when I get a 5’ or 6’ tank I’d love to see thoughts on tangs. I have a stock of fish at the moment but just want ideas of what other fish are different and found around there. Common and scientific names are useful.
One of my dream fish is a gold rim tang but I’d also love to see some other tangs from over there!

I just asked a similar question about Indian-only (fw) species, which are not found in the Americas. You might do similar for an Indo-only tank, which might be somewhat of an attraction for the neighborhood.

convict tang! expert-level fish though. Need strict QT procedures and its a strict herbivore. Needs lots of algae all the time to graze on. mine wont touch frozen or pellets but devours hair algae and nori. very disease prone so need to QT and be certain its disease-free

I love these guys - My LFS never has one that refuses frozen though, so that’s new to me! I also find that certain tangs don’t do too well with QT (Achilles for sure) because of the thin slime coat so I may hold off of this guy.
