Who's got the biggest Yellow tang?

[pokdbz]

I have read that yellow tangs get to be 8 to 10 inches. But I have never seen one larger than 5. Could you post pics of larger ones that you have and there size.

It's not the size of the tang that matters, it's what you .... you get the rest.

for whatever reason mine always swims low and to the left

If no one has a yellow tang that is bigger than 5 or 6 inches.
Why can't you put one in a tank smaller than 75 gallons?

As with most saltwater fish,,,It is not the actual size of the fish that limits the tank size.
But it's teerritorial,and swimming needs.
Tangs require larger tanks because they tend to claim LARGE territories,and need alot of room for swimming.

I may have the smallest just a little smaller than a half dollar.
