Yellow Fish Suggestions

[danenelsen]

Hello! I have a 55 gallon tank. I am really interested in a yellow tang, however, I have done a lot of research and it seems like a yellow tank will quickly grow out of my tank. Are there any other bright yellow fish that I could get for my tank? Currently I only have two clownfish.

Here’s a different view about fish out growing your aquarium

Responsible Stewards- Don’t Let The Future Fish Size Prevent You From Getting The Fish You Want

I see too many posts here discouraging Reefers from getting many fish because it will one day out grow your tank. I disagree with that thinking. After tangs and copperbands got too big for my 34 gallon, I put my fish trap in the aquarium, caught them, and quickly sold them to other Reefers...

Yellow coris wrasse, candy hogfish, yellow watchman goby...

Lemon Damsel (will stay out and about). I would only recommend one. They can be real jerks to you when working in the tank, but seem to not bother the rest of my inhabitants any more than other fish. They have their territory and protect it.

Yellow clown goby or two (small, but bright). Yellow assessor (can hide a lot). Sunrise Dottyback (although criptic).

Yellow tang should do well in that tank
Other considerations are yellow coris wrasse, yellow damsel, midas blenny, banana wrasse, yellow watchman goby and one spot rabbitfish

One of my favorite fish in my tank. Very active and constantly searching rocks and sand for snacks

I agree a single yellow tang would be good in a 55g IMO. I would not add any other tangs tho. I love the splash of yellow they add to the tank and many have a personality also.

What kind of fish is that? It's very cool looking.
