Are there any tangs I could keep in a 65 gallon? If not are there any really active fish that are pretty big that I could keep?Not unless its a baby and planning to move it to a much larger tank within a few months
Bristle tooth tangs would be really good optionAre there any tangs I could keep in a 65 gallon? If not are there any really active fish that are pretty big that I could keep?
Check through places like drreefsquarantinedfish.com or liveaquaria.com. they both list recommended tank sizes for fish.Are there any tangs I could keep in a 65 gallon? If not are there any really active fish that are pretty big that I could keep?
Dont bristle tooth require seaweed?Bristle tooth tangs would be really good option
Ok thank you!Check through places like drreefsquarantinedfish.com or liveaquaria.com. they both list recommended tank sizes for fish.
They need algea but they also will eat other stuff like detritus. All tangs need algea. A supplement of nori is a great optionDont bristle tooth require seaweed?
Alright.They need algea but they also will eat other stuff like detritus. All tangs need algea. A supplement of nori is a great option
No tangs for 65 as adults, babies yes but even bristletooths should be in a big tank due to activity when fully grown. You could find one that grows slower but still need to upgrade or rehomeAlright.
As a QT or as a grow out tank, but sailfin tangs are among the biggest tangs in the hobby.Could I keep a sailfin tang in a 65 gallon? Dimensions are 48.5 in W x 12.75 in D x 25 in H

Most of the dwarf angels would be okay in a 4' (but skinny) tank. Flame or coral beauty, for example.Are there any tangs I could keep in a 65 gallon? If not are there any really active fish that are pretty big that I could keep?
They actually don't eat much of that type of algae naturally. That genus eats film, slime, detritus. Some will learn to love it in a tank. Not all will go for it.Dont bristle tooth require seaweed?
Unfortunately "pretty big" and 65 gallons don't go well together.Are there any tangs I could keep in a 65 gallon? If not are there any really active fish that are pretty big that I could keep?
No that's a common misconception. Biology and evolution don't magically adjust to your tank size. Otherwise Id have a great white in a 40 breeder lol.Thank you all. I thought I heard something about fish not growing to their max size due to tank size?
Thank you. Most tangs that actually will fit in the tank are above 100 which is annoying...No that's a common misconception. Biology and evolution don't magically adjust to your tank size. Otherwise Id have a great white in a 40 breeder lol.
Yea I hear you. You also need to think of it in terms of swimming space, not just the physical fish size. Tangs are used to swimming large distances in the reefs and covering a lot of ground, so they need a larger tank than their physical size would let on.Thank you.

Makes sense my tank dimensions are 48.5 in W x 12.75 in D x 25 in HYea I hear you. You also need to think of it in terms of swimming space, not just the physical fish size.
