What is the minimum size tank for a Yellow Tang? I have a 29g and i really really really really want one. I have corals and live rock, and sand obviously
Sharklover said:A 6 ft tank is WAY more than he needs their min tank size is only 75g,a blue tang is 125g and thats only 4ft a 6 ft long tank is even a little more than long enough for some small sharks&rays such as epaulette shark or blue spotted stingray,but sadly no tang can fit in a 29g,i forgot the name but the smallest aquarium tang has a min of 55g so good luck and keep looking!

And I have been going there since I was in the freshwater tank which was about a year and half.
