Pbt in a 90 gallon

[Perellis]

So I'm planning on upgrading my tank to a 90 gallon shortly and I was just wondering if you think a powdered blue tang would be OK if I don't have alot of other fish....two clowns and a diamond watchman gobie. Do you think this will work?

pbt's need a lot of swimming room or they won't thrive. 90 isn't enough length.

IMO 180 or better

They will also make sure that he's the last fish you get to put in the tank.

I had a PBT when I had my 100 up and running and it didn't seem like it was quite enough for it. He grew to be really big and looked cramped. I'd say 120 min.. That's just me though. It all comes down to preference. You will not find one person on this forum tell you to go ahead and get him, that doesn't mean he wont live and grow. There are people that keep PBTs in 40 breeders, should it be done probably not. It's all opinion based on how you feel about fishkeeping to begin with.

I'm about to get yelled at for saying that now. :blown:
