In the meantime choose one of the many colourful marine fish available for tanks you size.

Thanks for asking.

Minium 90g for a small tang, 180g is better.

I have a friend that keeps his tomini tang in a 40 gallon, and you can tell it's not a happy fish. It always hides in a corner and bites his powerhead.
