I'll agree although the min tank for one fish is debatable.. but at any rate the smallest I would use is a 40 for one fish and from my research you can start having multiples in a 120 gal and over. and ideal mix in a large tank is 1 male to 7 or 8 females. feeding wise they should be fed several times a day not once or twice like we feed most fish.
although these fish are smaller than a tang they have a much larger teratory and are way more active swimmers hence they require more room than a tang.
