If you can post a link to those references, etc that would be great. On this site as you're probably aware, there have been several debates about tank size and various fish - tangs, angels, triggers, etc etc. Some saying - fish will not outgrow their tank, others saying thats ridiculous. Many people get around these ideas by suggesting they will re-home the fish when necessary - which then causes more stress and potential problems, at least IME. The science (I believe says) that tangs have (or are supposed to have) a major part of their growth early in life, followed by a gradual growth to whatever maximum they are going to achieve. So - IMHO - though Tang xxx may not make it to 12 inches, my main disagreement with what you said (and perhaps a misunderstanding) was that since so many fish expire within a year or 2 its not an issue.Grain of salt is putting it nicely as all they did was copy Bornemans opions from the 90s. If I'm not mistaken Eric was the first to write an opinion on compacity for the possibility of owning full grown specimens. Once again an opinion on full grown specimens. For anyone to say outside of common sense what's right or wrong well is just wrong.
I guess it depends on your definition. . But yes - I'm not sure there is any particular definition of that word here. EDIT - the reason I say this is - this would not be the first time that 2or 3 or 10 experts disagree on a topicMaybe I should take the word expert with a grain of salt?
