New yellow Tang for my 29 gallon

OfficerTang2020 · Apr 11, 2020

Hi guys! I just got a new yellow Tang today at my local fish store for my 29 gallon saltwater tank. I have 4 clownfish and 2 wrasse also. Im thinking about getting a regal tang! Its such a beautiful fish! My favorite fish in finding nemo! Do you think it would get along with my yellow tang?

Your tank have too many fishes in it. Most wrasses (except for very few) also get too large for 29 gal tank. Yellow tang and Regal tank will not do well in a 29 gal tank.
You should either get a much bigger tank or else stick with a few fishes for nano tank.
Some species that will likely go in a 29 gal tank can be seen here:

Nano Fish | Marine Fish

Ideal for small aquariums of 8 gallons or more, many of these species develop small territories within their new home. Though they do not have special feeding requirements, live rock is highly recommended as a supplemental food source and added filtration. Be sure to check compatibilities before...

If your yellow tang is more than 3”, just by himself is too much of tang. I had a dory in a 30 then 55 and joe she’s in my 120 and it’s still kinda cramp for her.

I did not see this before but @OfficerTang2020 is the name so I think it is a joke.

I think he’s serious, is an entrapment. Executive order can’t be violated!

When I saw the title I just cringed, but based on OP username and details this is probably a joke. Well played OP, my BP is a little higher after your title.

I bit but fortunately I did not swallow bait, hook, line and sinker.
Or did I?????

If this is a legit thread, maybe we can help the op find a more suitable tank? He obviously already has good taste in livestock!

That tang is too big. His snout is poking out. This will keep him from breathing. You need to chop his tail off or else you need to bring him back to the LFS.
