Hey guys,

I know most tangs need a 6ft+ long tank to be happy once they reach maturity but I remember reading that there's a handful of Tang species that will be okay in a 4ft long tank (like my 90 gallon). I'm pretty sure the Yellow Tang is one of them, but I'm not really all that interested in that particular Tang - I know I unfortunately can't get Dori to go with Marlin and Nemo here ( :p ), but are there any other Tangs that you guys would recommend or am I more-or-less out-of-luck with keeping a tang in a 90 gallon?

I am sorry to tell you but none of those belong in that size tank, especially the clown and hippo, the yellow I don't believe should be in that tank but others might disagree with me. The other two I would be looking to rehome sooner then later. That clown tang is going to become extremely aggressive in a tank that size.

After reading your post, then your signature line; I've decided to follow the lemmings. We have lots of great cliffs where I live.
