Fish and tank questions

Would you consider a purple,blue or yellow tang in a 92 corner? if not please will you tell me the suggested tank size for these tangs and the niger trigger.

 

usually I'd recommend 100+ for triggers and tangs but maybe you can get a yellow tang?

 

I would not. I would suggest a tank that is at least 4 foot long for one tang and the trigger.

 

Yellow should be fine imo.

 

No tang in a 92g corner.

 

oh wait its a corner? o i missed that then no tang; they need a lot of space, therefor a lot of length

 

you can always get a tang if you are willing to take it back when it gets bigger.

 

Q.: Why can't I just give the tang away when it gets bigger?
A.: Who are you going to give it to? Most public aquariums will absolutely not accept donations from hobbyists. Also, think about what you are doing. Cute juveniles are taken from the wild and brought into the hobby because there is a demand for them. When you buy that fish, you are telling the supplier to keep collecting more cute juveniles. Part of that demand is from hobbyists who are unprepared to keep the animal for its natural life. As previously noted, tangs require tanks much larger than many novices are used to. Many hobbyists simply do not have tanks big enough to house adult tangs. Finding a home for an adult tang can be very difficult. So what you have done is provided the demand to encourage collecting more juveniles, and then dumped a large, adult fish back into the market for which there may be little secondhand demand.
