I rescued my hippo/regal tang from a 55g tank. He was six inches when I bought him It was sad to see such a large tang cooped up in such a small space. The problem with tangs in smaller tanks is that they will outgrow it, a lot faster then what most people think too, IMO.

Unless you're using the tang as an excuse to get a much larger tank and are willing to follow through with expense of upgrading, well... then that's a different story altogether.
