Tangs Acclimation Tank Size?

[saltwaterlover]

Does anyone know how big/small (inches or cm) you'd need a hang on acclimation tank for getting tangs used to the water and the other fish?? Because I'm trying to order one but I'm not entirely sure how big of one I'd need it for them to move around, i found these ones: (but idk if that's big enough)

Personally i just put the tang in a tupperware container and slowly add my water to it until salinity matches and then give it another 15 minutes or so.

Outside of my tank, of course.

I don’t mean that I mean I want to have the fish in a hang on tank (like a plastic one) so that the other aggressive fish in the tank can get used to him and vice versa. (I want to do this with a few of my fish but obviously my tangs will be the biggest ones.

You're looking for a social acclimation box - and I think 12.6cm is going to be a tad too small for what you need.

There are some acrylic manufacturers who produce them in appropriate sizes for marine fish, but those can be pricey. Other folks have had decent results with a "Kritter Keeper" type enclosure, or even a box made from eggcrate.
