Don't be discouraged though. You can make a beautiful tank out of a 29 gallon using small gobys, clowns, your dwarf angel, some feather dusters, etc. You can add all different kinds of snails and crabs. Just plleaase do your research. Impulse buys almost always end in death and disappointment.
thanks a lot and im going to take ur advise and try to do the petstore thing and afer or im going to go out and buy a bigger tank what size tank do u think ill have to get to have all the fish i have now in there ?

Sharkboy, don't nitpick, it's annoying. We both agree that the current tank he has is too small for tangs.
If you want to be able to keep tangs, a 6' tank is needed. I'm not sure on the approximate size of those two tangs, but probably in the 100 gallon range.
You're doing the right thing though.

Are you crazy? A moorish idle? I haven't laughed so hard in months! It is obvious you have not read one book on saltwater fish or you would not be asking all this. For all the fish you want you need to be an expert with a 200 gallon tank. Saltwater fish need much more room than freshwater fish....most say about about four gallons of water per every inch of fish, and those small fish often get many times larger than when you purchase them. Please read a good book on the hobby before you kill your poor fish! Lesley
