*sirens blaring* please dont put a tang of any size in a 50g. A 2" hippo is a baby and is going through his growing phase. If put in a small tank the fish will never reach its potential. The reason people say that a fish will grow to the size of the aquarium is, fish release feremones(sp?) into the water and when that feremone reaches a saturation point it triggers the fish to stop growing. I had a 68g tank and still wouldnt consider a tang. If color and algae removal is what your after than consider a centropyge angel of some sort. Will do much better in a 50g than a tang.
