In the 46g, no. Sorry dude. There are just so many other choices out there that are a better fit. Get the bigger tank first, then get the fish to put in it - not the other way around. It's a bitter pill to swallow sometimes when we get it in our heads that we want a certain something and we'll surely be able to "upgrade later" - but it's better for you, it's better for the livestock, and it's better for the hobby in general, when you do the right thing. We've all had to do it (ie. make some tough choices.) Stick with what you can do comfortably, and you will save yourself a lot of trouble.

All I know is that it was horrible to watch our poor scopas tang trying to swim around in our tiny 30g, he kept bumping into the sides

. He is sooooooo much happier (swims back and forth with freedom) in our friends 90g. As extremely difficult as it was to let him go, I feel better knowing that he has more space to move around in. Really when it comes down to it don't we all want what's best for our pets? I know I do, even if it means not getting what I want.

For example I had an opportunity to buy a sohal tang (which is our dream fish) but unfortunately I know these fish will not do well in less than a minimum of 300g. Since we only have a 120g in good conscience I could not buy this fish, knowing that I did not have a proper home for it. So trust me when I say that even though it's difficult, resit the urge until you have the right amount of space for the fish to be TRULY (not just seem) happy in. Thanks Laurie OMG I think I just became a member (sort of) of the tang police squad lol BTW lemon peel angels are really nice and a much better choice until you can get a larger tank
