Keep in mind that if you get a small one that lives, within 3-4 months you will need a minimum of a 90g tank for them to live happily in.

As you can clearly see we have answered your question, the minimum tank size for a scopas would be a 90g, your 34g will not work as a proper house for a tang. You yourself said that you didn't want to risk a life but yet you are asking again about tangs when you've already got the answer. Just because you might not like the answer doesn't mean it's going to change when you keep asking the same question.

Maybe because someone else did it you hope we'll say it's ok and that's why you keep asking, however just because someone else did it doesn't mean it's right. Most of us on here care about our fish and we want what is best for them, and for keeping a tang you really need a minimum of a 90g tank, and honestly with tangs as they get bigger a 180g or larger tank is better for them to live in.

Anyway this thread is for pictures of tangs if you'd like to start a tang discussion you could start a new thread in the Marine fish section. So for now
