Mikesilverado8888 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 What's the minimum think you could put a yellow tang in? I'm thinking of getting a 40 gallon I know that's pretty small. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I think a 40 is too small for long term, if it's a cube it's too small period. If it's a juvenile, up to 3" or so, it's not going to be a problem assuming a normal 36" (40 gallon breeder) as long as the tank isn't stocked to a point that it gets stunted. Once they're larger, 36" just isn't enough space for them to properly swim in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Rehoming is a hot button for some people. Keep in mind you will have to rehome it sooner or later as it should live 30 to 40 years. You're primary concideration should not neccessarily be will it do OK in my tank (because a juvinile will be fine in a 40 "for a while") but when will I know I need to rehome and am I going to be willing to part with it if I'm not going to get a bigger tank. It's sad to see fish abused because their owners "can't part with Buddy" but won't accept the responsibility of giving their fish a home that meets it's needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
