Shista you do not want to compromise your bioload and kill any of the fish that you subject to your...how should I say this...enthusiasm.
Best of luck, and let us know what you decide on.

Im with rick may i suggest though a small shark if you hatch the egg then they stay small in the tank for years. And i heard you can fit atleast four yellow tangs in a tank that small with atleast two puffers(like to be in pairs), a and go with the biggest eel you can find

and here you go again asking the same question.
i agree with journey man just get a bigger tank.

I hate to see people in the same boat in every thread, trying to get info on a problem but ending up repeating the same tang story to everyone again when it wasn't the point. But as this time it is a "what fish" question, no problemo. I would certainly agree now.
And this is not a rectangular tank...so, IMO, the tang, copperband and quite possibly/probably the GS maroon (who will take over that tank) are no goes for sure.

1) YOu really should not keep a yellow tang in that size tank. Considering ithe tangs larval stage, then it was not Captive Bred. That means that it used to be located in the open ocean. But then it was taken from its home, stressed in the shipping, then stuck in a tank, that won't allow it to clear it's gills.
2) Shista- Good advice on this subject has been given over and over again. We are trying to say it as many ways as possible, but the tang can't be put in that tank. If you look at every (mature) response, you will notice that they mention getting rid of the tang, including 2 moderators.
Please, please do take the advice, and put the fish into a proper home! Please!
3) Everyone- that made the sarcastic, and derogatory comments (even if the comments where just jokes...which was at shista's expense). I understand if you are frustrated, that Shista isn't listening, but do you think the best way to handle it is by making such comments? I just don't think that that was a good way to handle it!

celacant,
im one of those that according to you made a sarcastic reply however it was not nasty it was done on the funny side of things , i think that most of us who replied to shista gave up in a sense so we opted to do it in another way (you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink) i think that was the way every one done it, if you can see a better method in doing it , please go ahead make my day

I would prefer not to get in to an argument about this, my earlier post will have to represent my view.
