    Yes, I realize this. But a tang and a lawnmower are two completely different creatures, which require different needs. No fish belongs in a tank really, but rather the ocean. That being said,d I agree his tank is a little too small, but if the creature acts happy and healthy then you can assume that it's happy and healthy.

    I have a 4 inch Lawnmower Blennie, I still think they are too active for an 8. It will run out of food if the Algae is not upkept.

    its just my opinion, sure they can live in a 12 gallon tank, but they wont be happy and thrive. i would return it for a more suitable fish if i were you 1.0
