    I feel so bad for doing this but Seeing how my Regal, Being the smallest fish in the 120 (Tang Wise) measured out to 5.5" ... He needed to go.

    I figured I at some point needed to be fair to Space and levels for the other residents.

    :( The other tangs seem lost without him. It took me about 20 minutes to catch him only moving partial stuff. We had to move the rocks to find the fish.

    He is residing in the 46 Gallon right now till the pet store tomorrow.

    I think I did the right thing...

    Tough decision but made in the spirit of what's best for all.

    Wish I could get it sent to me.

    Hes a great fish, However. Bit rugged looking. Fins always torn. and hes a soft Coral eater. (mainly polyps)

    May reasons leading to the decisions.

    You did. I know it's hard, but your tank was getting too full and you did what is best for everyone in there. So find some comfort in that. You are a good DAD!

    Awww... poor guy. I hope he finds a good home. You do have some big tangs in there. I am not looking forward to the day that I have to make a decision like that.
