Default Tang Owners Beware
I saw this while browsing the internet. You can definitely see why they urge you to have a large tank when keeping surgeonfish.

Thats huge! I figure you'd need at least a 70 gallon tank for that one.

I was just referring to the sentimental value we place on them as pets...that was all. I am sure you would be sad if I came along and killed your tang in your tank so I could have fish for dinner
