100 Gallons Is Enough For This Tang?

[Tnops]

So I’ve been scrolling through divers den to see what’s been popping and well this popped up. The quick stats says that a 100 gallon is fine for this fish? Am I missing something because both of the parents need more than 100 gallons.

75g 4ft min if no other Tangs are present

But that price.... dude. You can get a PBT at most LFSs btwn $150-$175

DON'T BE ROMANCED BY A SINGLE PIC

Plus shipping in cold weather btwn now and late April is dicey. Double dicey ordering fish overnight during the Holiday season where 50% of FedEx/UPS workers are 20yr olds with zero experience on the job. Meaning more packages get delayed...

A single PBT will be fine in a 4ft tank. You can get a fully QT'd PBT from @tsmaquatics for $160.

But you guys are missing a key piece of info why this is so expensive. It’s not just a PBT. It’s a hybrid. :rolleyes:

Does that mean you feed it Lithium?

For just that tang you'll be fine but limit the stock

You guys are missing the main part of this ad. This fish is NEW not used, so that may be the reason for the price tag.

I would not. 6' 180 would be my recommendation.
