Canadian, I think you know that tangs require swimming room. If you watch them they scoot from one end of the tank to the other unlike many fish that kinda just hang around.
That is why large tanks (6 foot) tanks provide the optimum size for keeping tangs. They can do what they do best, swimming.
LOL. I knew that posting a pic of the tank would eventually beget the ire of the tang police. The tang does not demonstrate any signs of ill health and is 2". If it begins to show signs of poor health I will remove it from the tank immediately.

Naesco, I know you feel strongly about this. And I respect your empathy regarding the plight of tangs in captivity. With that said, respect the fact that I am keenly aware of good husbandry practices and will ensure that my livestock demonstrate signs of good health in captivity and act accordingly if things change for the worse.
