Like ed99 says, a 50 is on the small side, but at least you have it on the long side of a 50 (sorry, I just realized that I mixed up the posts here). So if your 50 is a long style, you will be better off than if it is a tall 50. If you do decide to get one, make sure you go with a small one. At least the yellow is one of the smaller of the tangs. It's also one of the hardiest in terms of tangs. If you are sticking with a 50g, then I would suggest you stay away from the tangs that are more prone to ich since they will more likely get stressed in a smaller tank.

Good luck.

Everyone has different idea's on the ideal or the minimum size of a tank for Tangs. Different tangs grow to different sizes as well so try to keep that in mind. I've got a small sailfin in my 60 cube and I don't see a problem with the tank size for the fish even as it grows but I know some people will think I'm crazy for keeping it in a 24x24 tank.
