Unfortunately, that site is wrong with their info. You have to take into account the source of the information. Are they trying to sell something? Yes. Am I trying to sell something? No. I have no reason to mislead you on this: a Naso tang is a wholly inappropriate fish for a tank less than 200, possibly even 300 gallons. If you have seen this fish in the wild, you would understand.

And what is the point of putting a baby fish in a tank if you have no upgrade path? It's one thing to put a small fish in a 55g if you have ten tanks on the go and the appropriate sized tank ready to go when the fish gets larger. If you have to trade the fish in within 6 to 10 weeks, then the answer is simple: Don't get the fish.

Get the larger tank going first, then think about a tang. In the meantime, stick to the pictures. Like I said, it's a bitter pill to swallow to stay in our means, but we all have to do it sometimes, everyone.

Punked or not, good info being offered on this thread.

He does sound like someone who is desperate for someone, anyone, to tell him to do whatever he wants to do anyways. If six pages of "DON'T DO IT!!!" is not enough, then we're all wasting our time anyways. I wonder if he even looked up the adult size of Naso tangs before deciding he wants one so badly?

I agree as well...and I am unsubscribing to this thread as it is wholly a waste of all of our input, information and advice
