Could I keep it as a juvenile and trade it back? Also could a copperband bf or yellow tang go in a 50 or 55?
I know foxface grows fast
General rule of thumb is a 6 foot tank for a full grown tang from what I've always been told. I have a yellow tang and a foxface full grown in my 200 gallon and I couldn't imagine them in a smaller aquarium. My foxface hit 5-6 inches in a year. But he eats nori everyday. I can't keep him in the water when he sees the algae clip. Absolutely beautiful fish but requires a lot of room.
What about the copperband?
I thought they only eat corals if they dont have enough nutrients.I'm not sure on the copperband. I've seen them in smaller tanks but that didn't mean they were happy and stress free. I have corals so butterfly's are a no-go for me
