    Umm, I thought about a sixline and hopefully a clown pair.
    My friend has a 65 gallon tank that he is taking down and has a tomini tang.
    Would a tang do ok in a 60 gallon tank?

    short term Id say sure, but not in the long run. there are a few tangs that need a min of 70 gallons, however the should have a larger aquarium. My naso tang will soon outgrow my 120g :s

    You could probably do one of the baby hippo tangs in your tank for a good long while. They are fairly slow growers.

    I personally dont see a problem if its a super small tang that stays fairly small at adult age. But most tangs are very active and need LOTS of swimming space :)

    yea i know
    But my friends tank is a 65 gallon with so much rock that it hardly has any swimming room.
    My tank on the other hand has more swimming room.
    what kind of fish would you put into a reef tank with the fu man chu?
