Reefer69 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 No way that tank or tang is 8 years old. Tangs need a lot of free space to swim. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Here in a link That was revealed to be a joke online. A prank. Nobody can have a tang in that size; they die within weeks. If you have a 60g and want to try it, that might be reasonable if you are prepared. A 10g with a tang is killing it. You sounds like you're new, no? Tangs are one of the hardest fish, very susceptible to to diseases and changes in the water makeup. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Too clean. "Heres my eight year old tank, with brand new white sand, white rock, clean filter, completely black powerhead" Link to comment
Harpers Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Every tang needs a different tank size.The minimum tank size for some tangs is 75 gallons and the largest minimum tank size is 350 gallons. A lot of it really depends on the length of your tank because tangs are extremely active and love to swim.

metrokat Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Here in a link The tank is all white - no coraline, no color, no nothing. It's a fake video. Link to comment
Najay343 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 No to the 10g. However, I am getting one to put in my 30. I know its not the ideal 75g, but I think it will be happy Link to comment
soeminpaing Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 If somebody say yes, i gonna keep two since i have a 20 gallon tank. joking of course. Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 This seems like a lot of work for a troll. Make a new acct w/a pic in the avi, set up a QT tank and then buy the livestock. Why the #### would you go thru the trouble just to make everyone yell at you? PS your wall hammer is dead. Link to comment

Might be legit new reefer and confused by the (troll) video on YouTube Link to comment

CrazyEyes Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Only the larger species like vlamingis or a sohal. All joking aside, I'm gonna go with no, my friend has a big 120x48x24 tank with a few tangs in it and they use every inch of that tank. Link to comment
JR! Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 he was looking for a top kek. he gets nothing Link to comment
Kijho Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 I see so many tangs' in the small 10G display tanks at the LFS for sale every week. Like, several of them.. and I always dream of having one. They're such wonderful fish.. but then I quickly remember.. they need so much room. Then I feel sad for the lil' guys in the store... I think there are some other species of tangs (not yellow) that can go in smaller tanks. Similar fish but not the same original "yellow" tang. Link to comment
Sancho Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 He fell for a you tube troll. And not a very good one not a single comment on his one and only video. Link to comment
Normang Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Look, I know I am going to take heat for this but I'm going to say it. You asked, Can a tang go into a 10 gal. Technically yes, a tang CAN go into a 10 gal. The questions should have been should someone put a tang in a 10 gal. Now, My brother had the 20gal Elos nano tank. At the time we had a 150gal FOWLR running as well. He bought a baby purple tang (very small I might add) with plans to put it into our 150. Due to it being so small and we had large angels and tangs with a bit of aggression, he decided to put it in his 20 gal to let it grow a bit. Turns out we had to take down our 150 gal a few months after the purchase. The tang stayed in his 20 gal for over a year with no severe health issues. Constantly grazed on algae, and acted the way our tangs acted in our 150, using all areas of the tank to swim in. As far as we could tell he was happy. But sure, he would have been happier in a larger tank. Once he grew and got to a bigger size we sold him to someone who has a large 300 gal system. Link to comment
