The yellow tang (Zebrasoma flavescens) is a saltwater fish species of the family Acanthuridae. This popular aquarium fish feeds on turf algae and other marine plant material in the wild, but is often fed meat-derived food in captivity.Photo: Luc Viatour

Loaded With Low Quality Hobby Info

This article is loaded with low-quality (dubious) info from hobbyist sources - 100% of the sources, in fact. DUBIOUS.

I would suggest Wikipedia refrain from giving fish-keeping advice (e.g. what size tank; what to feed, et al.) as it has no way to ascertain the quality of the advice it is repeating.

Until better sources can be obtained, the aquarium-related sections should all be removed from this article. I'd be just as happy if there was no aquarium section. 72.214.40.164 (talk) 02:05, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

We can't have none at all as it is extensively used - agree on improving the sourcing and removing fluff though. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:15, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
