Regal Tang

Hi

I have a Juwel Vision 450 Which is approx 112gal, I have a Regal Tang which was a tiny baby. I rescued her from being eaten at lfs, I call it dori because she sems to act like dori, she about 2 and a half inches in size now and doing well, but I am a bit worried on another forum I read that my tank may be to small for her. I usually avoid buying tangs because of size and prone to diseases, but as stated earlier i couldn't allow her to be eaten. She doesn't seem interested in swimming around the tank she tend to stick with my clowns and their anemone, even when she eats she stays near anemone, she tries to join the clown in the anemone, but they chase her out of it. they will tolerate her near the anemone but not in it, but she does sneak a rub at the anemone. will my tank be a problem?

 

I think you are fine.
Generally people recommend 100 gallons or more for those tangs.
You are doing a lot better than the other people that saw Nemo and brought home Dori and put her in a 6 gallon tank.

If you have a problem, it might be water quality. Those are very delicate fish and require the best of the best. Stay up on water changes and keep it fed and you should be fine.

 

Thanks for your reply and your help

 

No problem. Good luck!
