Yellow Tang

[jman9331]

I have a 75 gallon reef tank. I currently have 2 clowns, 1 6line wrasse, and 1 royal gamma basslet. I am thinking of adding 1 yellow tang thoughts?

I'd not put a Yellow Tang in a 75g tank, to small for him. But thats just me.

how long would it take the tang to out grow the tank?

Depends on how much and how often you fed him.

I feed my fish every other day.

I hear they are pretty peaceful and you confirm?

 

[Reefing Madness]

No. All depends on the guy you get. I've had 8 of them, and every single one of them has had a mean temper. I will not own another. Want a yellow peaceful fish, try the Mimic Tang, stays smaller and way more peaceful.

Mine seems to be very peaceful but my friend had a very aggressive one but it was bigger when they got it.

I reckon I have some thinking to do on this.
