Tangs in a qt

[DallasDaleDavis]

Fighting a battle with ich, planning on putting all my fish in a qt for 5-6 weeks dosing copper. I only have a 20 gallon for a qt though. I have two clowns, a long nose hawk fish, and a gold rim tang. Will I be okay with my 20 gallon?

I think that's really, really small. You might have serious issues with water quality with that many fish.

Welcome to RC

How big is your tang?

Maybe ok for a 1" baby tang along with those other fish.

Alot of water change involved.. Each time matching copper level. Hard task

I've always been curious about this. LFS seem to keep small tangs in 10 or 20g tanks for display while awaiting sale.

As Crayola and M0nkie mentioned you will battle water quality and the task of keep the copper levels consistent. Why not just get a few larger brute storage containers to split the fish? A few in the 20gal and a few in another brute or something..just a thought
