1 more tang...too many fish?

[zulu_principle]

Just a query for those of use who use the fish resources ?

Scott Michael, who is whom I read for suitable fish, size, etc. says

Minimum Aquarium Size "this is the min. suitable aquarium volume for an adult individual of the species. Of course, juveniles and adolescents can be housed in smaller tanks......."

So if he says

Zebrasoma flavescens
Yellow Tang

Max. Length 7.9"
Min. Aquarium Size: 75 Gallon

How does everyone interpret this data ?

Lets say I buy a 2" yellow tang, I have no idea of his age, does anyone ?

Since its 25% of max length, does an aquarium that is 50% of the minimum work ?

Would like to hear what others think......
