I had a Tomini tang in a 3'x2' tank and it was a great addition. This tang isn't a very active swimmer and spends most of its time picking at the rocks instead of doing laps. Mine was very peaceful and had lots of personality and was easily my favorite fish in the tank.

right on . these are great posts
wasnt looking for the green light to add 20 tangs to my tank lol , I was just looking for some of your examples of 1 or 2 that you thought were doing well . great . so it appears that people do keep some tangs happily in slightly smaller tanks

I have a 5 foot tank and I also have a Yellow, Powder Blue, and a Red Sea Sailfin Tang and have noticed that the PB is the swimmer as the other don't swim around as much.

Well being in the 8'er club I can say that my lg Sohal tang does do the whole length of my tank from time to time but most if not all of my other tangs really don't. I think a 6' tank is good for most tangs until they get up to 6-8" in body length not including there tail. If you place your rock so that they have lots of room to swim with some hideouts for the ones who like to go into areas like hideouts at night.
My current tangs are Sohal, Sailfin, Luitenent, Purple, Scopas, Orange Shoulder, Yellow & 2 Regals. once my 300 8'er is done there will be an Achillies added.

I have a good sized yellow tang in my 6 ft 100g. Most of his time is spent picking on the rocks and back glass for algae and occasionally taking a lunge at my butterfly fish, just to remind them who is boss. But sometimes he makes quick short dashes around the tank, which is usually when he is pooping....
