Hello. New to the community. Are tangs ok for a 55? Fish only aquarium. Thanks much !!
 
Maybe a Tomini, but really too small for all the others and 1 would be the max. I have a Hippo that has grown rapidly to 6" in 16 Months. My Purple has gotten big fast also.
 
Tangs are beautiful fish, honestly a 55 is too small for one. I would go 100g minimum for any tang. They grow pretty fast and need good swimming room. You may be able to keep a Juvenal for a little while but plan on upgrading your tank as it grows.
