Default Tang

Would it be possible to put a baby tang into a 35 gallon, let it eat the hair algae and bring it back to the fish store. Also can a bicolored blenny and a sleeping goby live together.
Thanks

I wouldn't recommended it... 1. Netting a fish puts a lot of stress on them and with a young tang you could risk stressing them to death, and 2. There are other alternatives to tangs that you could look into to help your algae problem, such as a Lawnmower Blenny, which would be great for a 35G.

I would go with a sea hare before a tang. Tangs are never a sure bet and like JDigital said, thats a lot of stress for a little nervous fish.

As much as you hate your hair algae devo a tang won't be the fix in the 35g, perhaps this is the time to upgrade ? The sleeper and bi-color should work out just fine, try an emerald crab it should make short work of the stuff.
