I have a friend whos leaving for Iraq soon. HE has 1 yellow tang he wants me to have, but I only have a 55g with 7 fish in it and I know it should be in a larger tank. The nearest LFS is 2 1/2 hrs away and they dont want it, his other option isnt a good one. I would like to take it if possible, any ideas?

you could always ditch your 55 and upgrade to a 150

But seriously, thats a tough situation. If the LFS's dont want it what about other fish keepers in your area? If his "other option" involves a toilet bowl, that I guess even a 55 gal is better than that.

I would say stretching it to be a good friend you could get rid of all of your fish and take his..Can you not just go to his house and feed it..What size tank is it used to being in...

Offer to "store" his fish and tank at your place... Prob solved!

2 questions:
1) How big is the tang?
2) How long is your friend supposed to be deployed?
If it is just a small tang and your friend won't be long (less than a year?) maybe you could take it.
These are things you need to consider. :thinking:

but since hes giving you his YT... tell him if hed trade his 90...for your 55... just put everyting you had in your 55 in the 90... and you dont really have to go thru the whole cycling process.... can put them in almost immediately...
and he can put his new 55 in storage and you can put your new 90 in the living room.

Don't flush it......how can people tell him to flush it rather then put it in his tank or the 90- if its temporary? Maybe he can find someone later with a bigger tank. Much crueler to just "kill" it (awful)- don't you think??
