Convict Tang anyone?

I never had one,but always liked the zebra stripes on them. Ordered a large one from Live Aquaria . After quarantine it will go in my 240( 8ft tank). On the website it says up to 8 inches, but I don't believe it. So how big do these guys get?

I am looking into getting one as well when my tank finish cycling! I believe the max length is 8inches but i believe they are a lil bit smaller then that and it will take awhile for them to get that big

I wouldnt suggest adding a tang first, once your tank has finished cycling add something a little hardier like a clown maybe

These guys often come in malnourished and can become had to get eating. Get bullied by most acanthuras sp. I would definitely make sure your tank is cycled first and they do get pretty large. 8 inches is actually realistic.

Yea I have two clowns, royal gramma, and pajama cardinal I will transfer over to my new tank then add some more after awhile! You think the tang should go in last?
