The blue tang, also known as the palette surgeonfish, has a black side mark like a painter’s palette. The “surgeonfish” name comes from the tail spines similar to a surgeon’s scalpel, making them tricky to handle. Still, they're super - popular aquarium fish, especially after their fame in animated movies. Many surgeonfish in the Acanthuridae family are called “blue tang”. The Atlantic blue tang starts yellow and turns fully blue, while the powder blue tang has a black face and yellow dorsal fin. The Indo - Pacific blue tang has other names like regal tang. These hand - painted Good Luck Minis® blue tangs are flattened and oval - shaped, just like real blue tangs. Despite being only 1 inch long, about the size of a small paper clip, each miniature is highly detailed with realistic elements.

These hand - painted Good Luck Miniature Blue Tangs are great for aquarium decor. You can simply place them in your aquarium to add a touch of the ocean. When handling them, be gentle as they are small and delicate. To keep them looking their best, you can occasionally wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or submerging them in water for long periods as this may damage the paint. They're just for decoration, so don't put them in a real fish tank with live fish.
