Watch my video, and tell me that fish would be "happy" in a 38 gallon tank.
I think you are right on. Now I feel like it's me against the world. I hate to think I am the only one who keeps a blue tang in a 45G tank.
I wish that you were the only one keeping one is that small of a tank.
Seems happy enough....
so maybe we shld focus on how to sustain such a beautiful fish in the environment that we can provide it. AKA stronger currents, better food, toys(yes toys, tangs are very intelligent and actually need to be stimulated)
I know my tang loves to chill infront of my powerheads riding the current..
Best intentions in the world. But not always a good outcome.
Then give me the answer to my questions. Just show me I am wrong and I will correct it. Don't just tell me "you are wrong".
No, I put the tang in my tank because i thought it would look dope. I was correct.
lol.. obviously he should have been in a bigger tank but i didnt have a bigger tank and im not gunna not buy a fish because of "recommendations"...
@bmack that is funny! I think ur gold fish has ich lol I assume u are going to be upgrading in the near future? hahahal

I am not saying your big fish will be happy in a 38 G tank. I am saying the smaller tangs look happy in the 38G tank. If I am not correct point out to me why you think they look unhappy.
The fish in brian's video are beautiful, healthy looking and plump, too. Regardless, I noticed how both tangs are making an almost constant circling motion. That constant turning cannot be comfortable for the fish, nor can it be very good for them. And that is in an 8' tank, imagine what it would be like in something smaller. Brian has the good sense to move the fish knowing it has outgrown the tank, and will be doing it a large favor. (No intentions of insulting anyone with that last comment.)
