Best size tang to buy

[teresaq1]

or does size matter.

I will be adding one to my 150 gal. and i keep seeing all these very tiny tangs. they had some blue hipo's the size of a quarter and yesterday i saw a sailfin the size of a 50 cent piece. i think i will go a little bigger though.

I like to buy small and watch them grow, and that way you will have them longer than if you were to buy a large adult. Just my take on it.

Nano tank tangs

IMO, too delicate at that size... :notsure:

Just from reading other posts, I think the tiny tangs have a higher mortality rate, especially the blue tang. Having said that, I'm not sure why. Do a search and see if you find what I'm talking about. I'm sure I read that in several different posts. I got my first yellow at about 3 1/2 inches from nose to the base of his tail. Pretty small, but big enough to be eating good and holding his own. That was almost a year ago.
