H.diphreutes in a 50 gallon?

[Ap 15]

So I just came back from hawaii and I went on this submarine thing and some snorkeling and I saw these there. I also wanted a moorish idol but didn't want to go through the trouble so when I saw these I thought It would be a great alternative. But they saw 90-125 gallon tank size, so just out of curiosity I wanted to know if I could keep them or at least for a little while. I also saw this guy who had them in a 40 gallon cube or smth with some nems on youtube.

*I would also love some alternatives to them if it doesn't work out :)

* My tank is a IM 50 gallon

No. They get too big too fast to keep in a 50 gal.

In a tank that small you don’t have a ton of options when it comes to fish with similar body shape.

Based on color alone, a pair of bangaiis have that same black/white color, but that’s as close as you’re going to get in a 40 gallon.
