Is your SOHAL TANG happy in your tank?

[straightjiggy10]

What size tank is your Sohal Tang in?

I want to get a small one but was advised 90G is too small i know its my discretion but curious about yours:
PS: He will be housed with a Purple Tang, and a Clownfish pair, and 1 Algae Blenny and of course CUC!

From the pocket guide to marine fishes min recommended tank size 180g.

Your people analogy is not relevant because they can go outside, take a vacation etc. Your fish can't.

A 90gal tank is to small for a Sohal tang, a small one will out grow a 90gak tank very fast. They need tanks that are at least 6'+ long.


I currently have mine, which is over 14", in a 265gal tank with very aggressive fish, eel, triggers and groupers, and even then I feel the tank is some what on the small side. They also get very aggressive as they get larger. I had to move mine out of the 265gal tank, with I have large tangs, rabbitfish and angels, as it was very aggressive and put some very large cuts in my fish.

Too Small. A 900Gal. would be too Small. This fish should be left in the ocean
