Tangs in a cube?

[Max!]

I’m sure this discussion has been had a million times over but, I want to know what you think.

Can you put a tang in a 90 gal cube tank?

I'm sure some will yes to a Tomini or similiar tang but there is not enough side to side swimming space in a cube. Longer tanks are a better fit for them.

is the 90 a 36x24x24?

is the 90 a 36x24x24?

I think the marineland is 30x30

I think the marineland is 30x30

yeah that's the other option, not sure 6 inches really matters that much, but can't hurt either

 

[link81]

true,
30x30 is 900 sq inches
36x24 is 864 sq inches.
a 90 gal is also 864.

wonder if a tang would swim in circles if you aquascaped correctly. (as opposed to back and forth along the long edge.)

They need the room to graze on algae. going in circles would drive them nuts just like it would anyone. lol

A dog can be left in a car with the windows rolled up, in the summer, in Arizona........... for a little while.......

A tang can be in a cube in your living room....... for a little while.


Both are to be avoided.....
