yellow tang RSM 130
 

wondering if a yellow tang in a red sea max 130(34gal) is a good idea, i know these fish need some room does this tank seem to small for them?

i have 2 clown and a coral beauty angelfish

way to small they need at least 4 ft of swimming room and will need even more as they get bigger they are constant swimmers and always grazing so they use alot of energy and need the room to stay healthy,in a small aquarium they have a good chance of getting sick easier as well. sorry:):)

WAY too small! Tangs love to swim, and the RSM won't cut it. Fish will be perpetually unhappy. Even the tanks we all say are okay (6' or bigger), are really to small for these fish, considering their "natural" home.

We have a responsibility to the beautiful creatures we "adopt" to care for the responsibly, and sometimes that means putting the animal's interests ahead of our own preferences. There are many beautiful fish that will be very happy in a RSM - stock accordingly and both you and the fish will be happier for it...

Great advice from experienced reefers. Much too small.

thanks for the info! your are so right. i will just stay with the fish i have they are happy... so then i am too.

have to what till i do a bigger build :biggrin:
