My tangs never grew beyond the size I bought them. Nothing noticeable anyway. My YT was typical pet store size, maybe 4" nose to tail?
I feed daily, broccoli, kale, nori and a variety of meaty bits, but never had a tang grow.

I would suggest getting the book "Marine Fishes" by Scott W. Michael. Good info on 500+ fish. Worth the $25. This book mentions 4 or 5 tangs that might work in your tank.

When I started I didn't know about the 4 ft rule but I have 2 tangs in my 72 bow. Not
sure of the exact measure. I first had a yellow tang and It grew large and mean. Sold
him and got a smaller yellow tang. I also have a hippo who is growing by the minute. If
I could get the yellow out I would. I did have a book that tells you how many gallons are
needed that was what I went with. I also have a 95 gal with 3 tangs in it.

Honestly now! I can't believe anyone would condone placing a tang in anything smaller than an 8 ft tank! It must feel like a prison for these poor fish!

Just kidding... I intend on keeping a tang or two in my 4ft 90 gallon when it gets setup in the new house.

Thanks
