dont gibe me its cruel. 70 percent of fish die before they even reach the pet shops in America. so every fish you have many many many many more had to die before you got it. so if your so against cruelty to fish, stop buying wild caught fish

This is probably the worst rationale I've ever read.

You think the hobby is cruel - maybe you have a point there. But you are basically saying because the hobby is cruel I'll treat animals as cruel as I want. So hey I'll start a 10 gallon nemo tank with a blue tang and a pair of clown fish. Many other fish died so I can have these fish so it's ok for them to have a poor quality of life.

I'm not being tang police here I'm just pointing out the ridiculousness of this statement.

Wow, Watchman gobys are beautiful! I'll look into getting one.

Also, Anthonys551,
I think you have the size wrong.
I have a 55 gallon and it looks way smaller than that.
recheck your size or look up a calculator online.

It's a deep blue 57 rimless.

Yes my pink spot watchman is beautiful and mine isn't shy at all I can hand feed
him

Ps there is s big different between a 10 gallon tank and a 57. Also big difference between a 2 or 3 inch hippo and a 9 inch one. You never heard me say I was keeping the hippo in there forever. I got him in July he was about the size of a quarter. For you to say keeping a 2 inch tang in a 57 in cruel is foolish. I love my fish. I have 9 tanks. You have any idea how long it takes to feed 9 tanks twice a day let alone water changes once a week. Like I said I never said hippo and 3 foot by 2 foot tanks will be long term homes forever. But yes it's possibly to keep a hippo and a kole tang in a 3 foot tank for 9 months together without even putting the fish though quarantine. If the fish is so stress why didn't he get ich

A 57 gallon tank should NEVER be a home to a hippo tang of ANY size. Even though it is small, it is still the same fish and still requires the same amount of swimming room. It is cruel as well as foolish. If you truly do love your fish you would have some respect for them.

"If the fish is so stress why didn't he get ich?"
(Facepalm)

So your saying a 2 inch fish and a 12 inch fish need the same size tank. Wrong wrong wrong

A blue tang needs AT LEAST 180 gallons no matter the size of the blue tang. It is still the same fish.
