Tang question

[johnny4491]

What is the minimum size tank I need to have for a tang ??

 

[booth2010]

Depends on the tang, I belive most people would recommend 125g or more. Also depends on the foorprint. I think Tangs like more lateral room to swim.

It's depends on the type you want to keep. Most tangs do need a fairly large tank to thrive and grow in. They grow pretty fast and some get very large.

Yeah most people recommend a 6' tank.

For some of the smaller tangs like a Kole tang or perhaps a Tomini tang a 75 gallon tank or more swill suffice IMO. Bigger will always be better, but I don't think people realize that the number of tangs on the market as those of us who can house these fish properly are two completely different stories. There's got to be some sort of leeway. GL.

I really like the yellow tang and the blue tank aka dori

Yellow is fine in a bit smaller (75 gal) but blue tang needs minimum 6' and more would be better.
