Suitable tangs for 4ft tank

[Oxymoron]

Im assuming an achilles tang would be unsuitable?

Ya, I wouldn't recommend one of those, and I'm pro 4ft tang tank

Ok you bet.
Im a bit surprised that no one has responded with a resounding "no, do not keep tangs in a 4 ft tank".

I had mine in a 3 foot tank for 3 years, did well till the tank crashed from a heater mishap.

but I will say they are a tank that is a little more on the difficult side to keep, and are very demanding of really good water. I wouldn't keep it in a small tank with another tang, Nor would I personally put two tangs in anything less than a 120. been there done that, I got rid of the second tang after 5 months.

Some people do but I think they are forced to get a long in a smaller tank and may cause undue stress.

the problem with a standard 90 is it is only 18" wide, my 94 was 36 x 25 x 24 so there is really a lot more maneuvering room with that extra 6" of width. for a standard 90 I would stick to 1 tang.
