Yes, but not for long term, I had a small sailfin tang in my 29 biocube and he was just fine for a little over a year, I have moved him into my 75 now and he is still just fine, people on here think you shouldnt have a tang unless you have a tank the size of the ocean. Good luck on your hobby and dont always listen to what you hear on this board.

Yes, I think he will be fine for a while, my sailfin was not to large for the 29 when I moved him to the 75. I could have left him in there for a while longer, you should be able to keep a small blue tang in the 29 for a year or so as long as you keep up on your water quality and tank maintenance.

So all the rational people say it's not a good idea, one guy that had a large tank waiting says it's ok, and you take that as it's ok to add a fish that will get to be a foot long into a nano. Good luck.

I love people. Come here and ask this question. The first 6 people told you it's a bad idea. Then one clown chimes in to say go for it and that's the advice you take. Kind of sounds like you were just looking for someone to tell you what you want to hear.
Phils29 and yourself are perfect examples of people who won't be in this hobby in 3 years. The goal should be to have a system where you can maintain your fish long term. That is success in this hobby. You are setting yourself up for failure.
That being said, you sound like you are going to do what you want regardless of whether it's right or wrong. If you don't believe the people on here then why don't you pick up a book to find this answer... I guess you can't because that may not give you the answer you want either.

Hey, it's your tank, don't listen to anybody but one who agrees with you.

Crimzy,
you are the clown, I have been in this hobby for 10+ years, I work part time in my LFS, where do you get your knowledge, from this board??
This board isnt even the best out there, this one really sucks to tell you the truth, they dont want any competition what so ever, they will close your thread if you tell somebody where to get something that they dont even sell. Great place huh. As for you, why dont you keep your mouth shut if you dont know what you are talking about. A small tang is just fine in a smaller tank if you keep the water quality good and dont neglect it. The larger fish will outgrow almost any size tank that you are going to have in your house. People upgrade and people trade fish back to the stores or other hobbyist all the time.

Yes, Phil and I would appreciate it if you stop bombarding me with private messages trying to insult me. You have said your opinion, if you can't stand by it without flinging insults then maybe it is time to evaluate yourself.

phil, you are correct, once he gets to big, take him out and trade him in. But as for keeping him long term - as we all should keep our pets... then it's not good to keep him in a 29gallon. If you are going to upgrade your tank, then keep him, if not - he will be very, very stressed when he gets older.
