I have always liked yellow tangs. right now i have one blue damsel basically to get my tank started. down the road would a yellow tang fit in my tank if i took the damsel out??
Can yellow tangs fit in a 29 gallon??

my tang is in a 125, and i want a bigger tank for him...if you put a tang in a 29 gallon you'll kill him..they need to swim around and enjoy the tank!!..there extremely active swimmers....you put them in a small tank they'll go nuts.
but thank you for asking before you bought it and put it in your tank!

No tangs in a 29, however, you could put a small yellow, purple, sailfin, kole, or a scopas in a 75, but be prepared to move them to a bigger home in as soon as a year when they grow older and demand more swimming room.

I would not get one if you do not know much about them though. They are not an easy animal to take care of.

Wow, I wish I knew that before I bought my first yellow tang. Yellow tang is the only fish that I have in my 75 gallon tank. Hopefully it doesn't die on me. Just bought it on Wednesday.

yellow tang be fine, in 75 by his self,,
the problem will be when you want to another fish he will mostly like be aggresive toward it,, tangs you want to add last, and if you get more than one , add them all at the same time. just make sure they get a good diet of greens,,nori on clip is what i do,, in there weekly diet and you do fine. i also feed my yellow tang, several different frozen foods during the week along with flakes with garlic.

This tang requires at least 125 gal,
I though min was 75gl or 6ft long?
That's what Marine Fishes says and what I've heard/read in the past (and what I've been telling people)
if you get more than one ,
but NOT more than one in a 75gl.

talk about yelling " FIRE IN THE HOLE" But on this i have to agree, 29 is not big enough for any tang. I have my yellow in a 55 and it's doing great. Nice bright yellow. No problems but 29 not going to do it for a tang, sorry
