this is what people who know accept as minimum sizes, but we have to remember almost every other book and such I have read lists the min for almost every tang as 40 gal.. be it silly to imagin a tang in a tank that small that is what a lot of places go by.. and heck, it there small we coupld probably put 3 in there..
