    I would wait until the tank has been up 3 more months or so. Ctenochaetus tangs eat a lot of detritus from rocks, sand, and the glass. Sometimes they won't even eat prepared foods and rely totally on the detritus/ algae. So unless this tank is mature enough, and has enough for it to eat, it might not do well.

    What are the dimensions of that 65 hex? Even smaller tangs need room to swim, unless that tank is at least 3 feet long, I wouldn't put any tang in it.

    well since I found out I can't get a tang: is my tank old enough for a green clown goby?

    Sure! They can be hard to get eating, so try to buy one that is already eating prepared foods. They are so cute! I have one...somewhere in my 90 galllon....lol
