    I think it would be fine, just modify your stocking to accomodate a larger fish and you should be fine. Most Kole tangs only get 5in while some will get 7in

    I wouldn't. You maybe fine but your fish will not be very happy.Tangs are swimmers.

    Thanks for the help you guys. If it does grow too large, I could always return it and get credit to purchase another small one.. I could probably start out with an incher. If it'll be happy

    I'll consider getting a ground dwelling fish. Thanks for your opinion.
