A convict tang grows to ten inches. Besides size, most tangs need plenty of room to swim. That is not to say that you could not get a tang though. You would need to keep your aquarium lightly stocked and the water parameters pristine. A smaller tang, such as a Kole, would do fine for a few years. There may come a point when the fish outgrows your tank though. It is best to upgrade to a larger tank prior to purchasing a tang. Many people buy them with the intent of upgrading, and that never happens. A tang does best with a mature system containing plenty of growth for grazing. If the system is new then you have plenty of time to decide your stock list. It is important to be patient and stock slowly.
