The blue tang, or Palette surgeonfish on the other hand does not bred in captivity. 100% of the animals you have ever seen were plucked from the wild. That has a devastating impact when new hobbyist attempt to keep them.
There is some poster on Reef Central who has a Reefer 170 setup with a blue tang in it. Why the users there haven't said it's a bad idea to him in his thread is shameful, I thought that board was a good one. I'd say something but I don't have an account there yet
The problem is all the Blue Tangs at fish stores are sold as juveniles so they look like small fish you can put in a small tank.

I have a running Nuvo 16 in white with live sand and some nice live rock I need to get rid of if you're interested. It's the White model with the white stand. I bought it for a Mantis Shrimp that died 2 weeks after I bought it and haven't done anything with it since then. Just been doing water changes and letting it run
Thanks for the offer but I have my heart set on the Red Sea tanks this time around

you are part of the tang police? I have one in my 75. and when it got to a size where it would be too big for a 75(which it will) i will sell it. but i have had it for 2 years and it has barely grown. I love reading those tang police fights on there.

Say please and I'll try to find time to open your email.
Ich is the devil. It's a parasite that is easy to handle in freshwater but can be a bitch in a reef tank.

Have you seen the YouTube of that guy who feeds live fish to his mantis shrimp
Crazy. There is also a funny Hitler video where Hitler learns his coral had a mantis shrimp hitchhiker on it

Not really
But let's be real. A blue tang shouldn't be in a 2 foot cube tank. It will just stress out, get Ich and infect the whole tank
I have no issues with people who keep yellow Tangs in 3 foot tanks or blue Tangs in 4 foot tanks

When I bought my tang, it was the size of a quarter. Now it's prob 3"
Pretty soon I'll have to give it to my buddy with a bigger tank

I would not put any tang in anything smaller than an 80 gal.

I fed my watchmen near the glass at the front. I don't know if it had anything to do with feeding but he stayed there and and the pistol dug holes right along the front.

How does it do with your coral?

How big a tank do these blue tangs need?
I don't like how rectangular tanks are
I think they look better and in my uneducated fish brain are better for fish if they are deeper like 5x5x10

From what I've heard, you don't wanna put a hippo tang in anything less than a 75gal. Doing so will only cause it to get stressed out and develop ich.
Even in a 75gal., its gonna outgrow it eventually.

I've seen blue Tangs at public aquariums that are a foot long
They get big
It's like people who put baby common plecos in their 10 gallon freshwater tanks

Nice. I remember when I first bred sword tails, thought it was the coolest thing ever. That was when I was in 8th grade. I sucked at planted tanks though. My plants always died but I wasn't the best at water parameters when I was younger. I didn't know any better. My only resources those days were the library

I had a 55gal with loaded with Cichlids. Man I loved that tank until Katrina.

I have a yellow and a blue hippo tang in my tank and both haven't grown that much. They are still 5" long or less.
ETA: had them around 2 years. not sure if water temp is too cold or what but i find their growth extremely slow.
