So I have a 20 gallon and my sister insists we need a yellow tang. I've already had to break it to her that the tank is waaaayy too small for yellow tang or any tang in general. I was considering a Midas blenny as an alternative. What other options are there for a yellow fish in a 20 gallon?

You can get a biota yellow tang. They come small enough, but I don't know how quickly they grow. In todays market it shouldn't be too hard to get rid of when it grows out. (I recently sold mine for 200$)

Yellow tangs grow fast. No way you can put it in a 20g. They need lots of space.
