Wayne, I'll assume this is directed partially toward me. What damage are you implying is done by my encouraging doch to get a tang? As for "authorities", by who's standards? I haven't bought any of there books, but I'm sure none of them did their Masters on Aquarium Sizing for Captive Tangs. I've only kept three tangs over 5 years, and 2 are still with me. I challenge you to come visit and explain how they are not happy. They look just fine to me. They have more swimming space now than they did in a tank twice as large, so is that bad?
As for everyone one else playing in this thread, please let's try to be constructive. Willow, we haven't even suggested closing the thread....chill.
As for naesco, sure, maybe he leans toward the tang police side of things, but if I ever come back as a tang, I want him as my attorney! Let's respect the other point of view, regardless of whether we agree or not. This is a god educational topic, and lots of readers might genuinely need to follow this to make a decision on a future purchase.
And as I said earlier, please do not attempt to modify the size of your tang to fit the tank. It's just wrong, and not very funny.
