In my 5 minutes of searching google, I can conclude that I found no evidence of anyone suggesting a minimum tank size of 29 gallons for a blue tang. Except for uncle99... He must be aquaman because he knows something we all dont.

We'll grab some beers and steaks later and totally forget about this issue. Everyone has expressed their opinion, and we've heard them all before.
Agreed.We'll grab some beers and steaks later and totally forget about this issue. Everyone has expressed their opinion, and we've heard them all before.
I noticed that both tangs have some fin erosion? Could this be an indication of cramped tank conditions?Yes, yes I do.
I have fun and take care of ALL my pets.
What I don’t do is listen to every armchair expert.
I make my own decisions and am willing to do what’s required.
Here we have 3 tangs in a 60....even at 2.5 years, the Blue was only 4 inches.
Note there are only 3 fish....do they look unhappy...
Everyone that is encouraging this should be ashamed. Treat a fish the same as a dog or cat they are for life
Point being, even small, it's not going to be a happy fish nor healthy in a tank that small. Especially a blue tang.
In the past I would have said yes, and I’m guilty of doing it, but now I say don’t do it. The fish will become increasingly stressed as it grows
All these virtue signalers about "fish first" didn't care when their juvenile was shot up with Cyanide in the wild and transferred between 5 middlemen in a 1 QT bag across the world to get it.
I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. And I won a goldfish at the fair back in '75.Not sure why this post has blown up now months after the last reply but the amount of people in this hobby who just spend their time gatekeeping on these forums is astounding.
“Abuse to keep a baby tang in a 30 gallon”
Here is my 30 gallon tang, eats a wide range of foods well, good colouration, never gasping, not pale, no diseases, no aggression, no wallriding, no hiding, fairly active.
He is around a year old now and I wouldn’t of been able to tell if he’s grown, so much for outgrowing the tank in 2 months?
Equating the actual abuse of animals to keeping a baby fish in a small aquarium temporarily is brain dead.
This seems similar to the same people mindlessly gatekeeping corals and anemones behind “mature tanks”
I guess we must have a lot of people here who studied bachelors in marine science?
I’ve heard that those goldfish require at least a 4000 gallon tank to house them healthily.I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. And I won a goldfish at the fair back in '75.
Did you win the goldfish by getting the ping pong ball into the tiny fishbowl?I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night. And I won a goldfish at the fair back in '75.
I won a tang trivia contestDid you win the goldfish by getting the ping pong ball into the tiny fishbowl?
my sailfin put on 2+ inches in 5 months. Even will have bachelors in marine bio in less than 6 months and preparing for career in research, it does not take more than common sense to realize that a fish that can reach 12 inches does not belong in a cube tank with 20 inches lengthsNot sure why this post has blown up now months after the last reply but the amount of people in this hobby who just spend their time gatekeeping on these forums is astounding.
