Four tangs in a 72g tank.. what has the world come to? But what annoys/upsets me the most is when people say.. "I bought an Achilles tang for my 55g and uhm.. I am gonna upgrade my tank soon!"
Do not buy a tang (or any fish) if you dont have the appropriate size tank for it when you buy it!

I agree, if the tank is too small NOW, don't buy it. The 72 bow is too small! 6 feet minimum for tangs!!! Call us the "Tang Police" You can also find me when your fish have issues. I mean no disrespect to anyone. There are PLENTY of posts on here of what kind of environment is suitable for what fish.

not to promote tangs in 70 g...
but i have a purple, hippo, kole, two percs and 2 neons in my 75 g reef..
they all do very well and swim together.... there is plenty of room for now and they are really active
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm constantly monitoring the water and weeekley water changes... this is def not recommended... i've had the hippo for over 2 yrs still about 3-4 inches, kole tang for about a yr i think, and the purple was added last novemeber....
The biggest problem fish i ever had was a small clown goby that would take down any sixed sailfin!!!!!! no joke,, i had a post on this and i had to get rid of the yellow lil monster!
