It’s a 4” fish. When it gets too big, it will move to a larger tank. 60 cube is not a joke. Sorry.

14" in the wild. Why does everyone look up a fish and picture a huge monster in 12 months. Other than dussomieri and similar, it takes a LONG tine for a fish to reach that size and rarely in CAPTIVITY.
I got this fish at 1 3/4" 15 months ago and was in a 360g and now in a 660g and 2+ inches in a year in big tanks says a lot about growth rate. I have many other tangs and none are massive over the time I've had them.

Agreed. I had a friend with a 9” powder blue in his 75 for 9 years. Happy and healthy. Still alive and doing well. Like I said, when it gets too big, someone else will get a good deal or I get an upgrade...

I guess I just don’t agree with buying a fish you can’t properly house, especially a fish like this.

On a side note, how did you manage to get it out of a 600 gallon tank? Lol
