I have a Tomini Tang and he is a model citizen and is beautiful. Their colors are much richer that in the store once you have them in a reef.

Most tangs are fine in a reef, if you give them enough room. Your chances of having tangs that are "good and hardy" greatly improves if you quarantine them properly.

I've had loads more success once I stuck to a strict quarantine process (8 weeks minimum for me, usually with preventative medication for new additions).

But I'll reiterate the earlier question, what size tank?

Previous posts mention a 40 gallon breeder and a 50 gallon tank.

Well that narrows the list a bit.
Answer, none, not if you wish to be responsible and humane.

Yea, no way to comfortably fit one tang in a 50, don't even think of adding two!
