    I don't really want to get into it right now, but I would really urge you against getting a tang for a 75/90 gallon tank. I just feel most tangs need much more swimming room than we give them, and often look out of scale with the rest of the tank anyway.


    Edit: if you do decide to get one, please make it a kole or spotted bistletooth tang. They reach 7" (and 6.5", respectively) at their adult size.

    LOL it took me almost two years to get his 75 gallon up and running the huge tank I want will be awhile LOL

    on a side note all tangs :p well if that be the case I can accept that, I want all my little critters to be hapy and healthy
