Honestly do you people think someone is going to see your posts and think to themselves, "you know that random guy online is probably right and if my fish will get 12 inches in a year or so then I should really hurry and take my tang back to a typical LFS that's not going to refund my money or give me credit". I mean really it's a tang, its not going to get full grown in a month. No one actually plans on keeping their full size tangs in a small tank for life.

I agree that when other people get on someone like this that it doesn't make a good forum experience but at the same time he's right. Every part. Unless the lfs didn't even ask her what size tank or other inhabitants. Then it's purely the buyers fault and should know more about fish keeping before making such a purchase. She will learn once it all crashes.

Yeah, actually. We do think that people who may not have all the facts might appreciate the voice of experience, or they probably wouldn't be on here. It's not Tang Police, it's people who care about quality of life for fish AND fish keepers having a good experience.Is no place safe from the tang police?

Tangs are often considered "ich magnets" because they have a very thin (compared to most other fish) mucous coating which makes them much more susceptible to the ich parasite. Essentially, adding three tangs to a tank is almost a guarantee of adding ich. This is why quarantine is so important.Sorry to barge in and completely change the subject but I'm new to saltwater aquariums and I was just wondering about what you said with the ich....how can she get ich by having 3 tangs in there?
