In a small to med. size tank, yes, most tangs are harder to keep happy since they are great swimmers & like more than 3 or 4 feet to zip across. Lionfish are fairly easy to keep, but they have their own disadvantages. They have a very potent poison in their dorsal spines (as someone who once had two "needles" of poison injected into his finger can bear witness to). They are big eaters & will need a high powered skimmer to keep the water quality high.
If you are really interested in keeping med. to large fish, and space is an issue (ie. have only 4' to play with), consider getting a 120g with a good size sump underneath. The 120g is 4' by 2' by 2' and is big enough to house a tang (like a yellow or Powder Blue) if you do the aquascaping properly and leave lots of swimming room. Ideally, most tangs should have a 6 footer, but I would be comfortable putting one in my 120g fowlr. The big question you have to decide is whether you're looking to do a fish-only (much easier & less expensive) or a reef (can be more interesting, but much more challenging & more expensive side of this addiction). Next week, if you have time & are in the Burnaby area, feel free to drop me a line & come on over for a visit. I have both fowlr & reef setups so you can see the differences & discuss your ideas.

No, none of my friends has a fish tank. I got a betta for Valentines and he lived in a 2 gal thing (can't call it a tank by any means!) He got sick and I was really upset about it, so I started reading about fish, got him a 10 gal tank with gravel, live plants a nice filter and light, started feeding with live fruit flies (I catch them every morning, my neighbors think I'm nuts!) and he got better. Now he is my baby. However he is a one mean betta and I can't have any other fish with him. But I want more. So I started thinking about a sw tank because the of the beautiful fish.

You're going to do well in this hobby. Just dont try to rush things.

What about lion fish? I bet that one needs lots of space too? Is there anything that would stay happy no matter what?
