i think the purple would be fine, and the kole will be fine for sure.. but the naso definatly needs to go.. and you have to look at it this way.. yes they have been fine.. cause they are small.. when they are big.. they won't be fine.. if you get rid of the naso, and don't get anymore fish i think it should be fine..

yeah, you need at least a 6 foot long tank, like stated. tangs are very active fish and they need room to swim. They may be fine at young ages, but when they become bigger they will need a longer tank.

So is the necessary 6ft of length for swimming an acutual statement that was made in a marine book or is it just someone on here that has decided that 6ft is what they have to have in order to live. I have read and hear and also know a peron that have 55gal or 75 gal and have had tangs for years. The only thing that i have understood whether it be right or not i dont know, is that they may not grow as mush because there is not enough space. not that if they dont have 6ft to swim in they will not live.

Some people in certain threads have mentioned that a tang can get ich from being in a tank smaller than XX gallons and they never really state why. I personally don't know enough biology to believe one way or another if that's even true, but it would be nice to hear it from a real expert. If anyone on here can explain, without flaming, I would appreciate it, and I'm sure Sherms here would too. Thanks!
