Tangs in 20l

[fireo1o]

i dont want this to turn into a fight over tang police.
but i want to know if its possible to house a 1inch b.hippo in a 20l.
the tank is really long and its pretty open and i think hed have alot of swim space. i just want to know if neones ever tried it and there acount .. plz no tang policing

 

[fishman830]

i wouldnt unless you have a plan for a larger tank in teh future

 

[fishman830]

ive had a blue hippo for two months now and hes grown alot

 

[fireo1o]

what size tank is he in?

 

[fireo1o]

i am thinking of maybe getting a 60g in the nexe year or so

 

[azonic]

Even the 60 is too small. I wouldn't recommend one.

What is it that tangs need so much space?

 

[fireo1o]

beacause they get so big and rome alot

i have a powder blue tang in my 20L and he does roam and he goes under and over the rocks all the time and always seems hungry. I do feed him everyday and he seems happy. Is it eminent that he will croak?

 

[j_g]

Here is my 20L tank

 

[fireo1o]

sweet tank.
i have no idea about if he will die or not, im a newbie.
but i dont think a tang needs 100 gallons to be happy. i want a b.hippo for my 20l. it bare right now and isnt finished but eventually id like a b.hippo..here it is..i know it is pretty dinky right now

It's doomed in that tank.

Whats cool is my tank gets about 2 hours of natural direct sunlight for about 2 hours a day. The light even waves like it does in the ocean during those 2 hours. It fun to watch.

 

[fireo1o]

how long have u had the tang for?

 

[fireo1o]

sweetness, thats a nice tank u have

 

[j_g]

my tank is 3 weeks old.

 

[fishman830]

[fireo1o]

[fireo1o]
