smallest tang

[debbie]

I am just curious as to what is the smallest tang in this hobby?
I see these beautiful fish all the time and wow are they big, is there any small ones?

My lfs has little baby blue tangs that are about 1/2-1 inch. But i dont know any small adult tangs

As far as possible adult sizes I think the Kole would be the smallest commonly kept tang in the hobby, second would be the Yellow and Scopas....

I also think the Kole would be the smallest.

The smallest I know of is the Kole, as mentioned. They're not the most beautiful, but you wont have much of an algae problem

Scopas do ok in smaller tanks if they are long, like a 55 or min 40 long. Pretty easy if you get a 2" one. Bruised leaf lettuce or spinach sticking up from the bottom of the tank is one of thier favorites. Let them finish cleaning the algae out of the tank first.
they are one of my favorites, way prettier settled in at home than at the store. We used to call them Mink Tang. Look awesome around colorful live rock.
