by no means am i trying to start any problems here. i am really interested in some responses to this. i have read all the dixcussions on tangs, and all of them have said they need alot o swiming room etc. i agree with this because ive done alot of research on them. BUT, i was just in mexico, and we went on a submersible sub to check out a reef. and as we were out there, a tour guide was explaining things to us, when we came upon a rock on the reef, which was no bigger then 7-8 ftlong and maybe 2-3 ft wide, and there was probably 100 tangs, i think he said they were purple, and he also mentioned that these tangs are ALWAYS in the same area, which was tiny. now i know that it is the ocean, but the space that these tangs were in, ive seen bigger aquariums. i wanted to ask the guy how all those fish could swim around this little area all the time, but i never got the chance to. just curious how come 1 fish would need a tank 6 ft long, and 100 would need rock cover only 7-8 ft long.
