I am just curious as to why these two tangs are "exceptions" compared to others?? I am simply just curious. Are they not as active as other tangs??

Kole tangs are gorgeous...

One day...

I believe it has to do with the fact that these tangs stay relatively small compared to other tangs. Another option would be a lemon mimic tang. I'm getting one very soon =)

gee, the tang police are being rather low keyed

I think the tang police are being low key for a few reasons, number one its a 50G so the tank isn't to small and second he doesn't own one, hes inquiring to own one.

I don't own one, and I'm not going to get one. I wanted to confirm my beliefs, before I bought one. Thanks everyone.

I think you would have been able to do a Yellow tang in a 50G if its a 48" tank..

My Yellow and Kole Tang are happy little fish, and I think they would do well in a 50G. My Regal Tang on the other hand is now too large for my 180G. I'm thinking about giving it to the Vancouver aquarium if they'll have it when I eventually get out of this hobby.

As I've said before, I don't think Regal Tangs make good aquarium fish in any size tank. They're just too active, and they go a little nuts in the confines of an aquarium.
