What you may have heard is that tangs are swimmers. They love swimming back and forth all day long. Because of this natural behaviour they need the length that longer tanks provide. (six feet).
Your tank is half that size they need so it is better for you to enjoy tangs when you eventually move up to a much larger tank.
In the meantime choose one of the many colourful marine fish available for tanks you size.

Thanks for asking.
