    ive got a yellow tang in my 55g tank. hes a good size one to. lately hes been acting weird. trying to mess with every fish in the tank. and swimming alot more than before. so i guess my question is this only going to get worse the bigger he gets?

    if hes big its best to get him out of there hes probably feeling cramped, upgrade to a 75 gallon.

    sounds like he has outgrown the tank.it is now competition for space.it will most likely get worse.
