Possible to keep blue tang in 1.5ft tank?

[morientes]

I intend to have a tiny blue tang in my 1.5 feet tank (rather small i think) together with some clownfishs.. i was wondering whether is it possible to have a tiny blue tang in my tank as i felt it will grow very fast in size.. do give me some suggestions and opinons.. thanks

1) possible to have a more suggestive topic. click the Report button to report the thread to any moderator, to have them help you change the topic to a more suitable one.

2) back to your original question. no. it'll be very cruel. unless your tank is 4ft long and 1.5ft wide. or 1.5ft deep.

Oh... then i shall forget about it..

anyway.. i would like to know are there other fishes that are peaceful, easy to take care, attractive colours and are suitable in a 1.5 ft tank.. if u know some of them do tell me..

Hi Bro,

I suggest u can have some small gobies. Gobies are very nice fish to be in nano tank.

can get a fairy wrasse and cheap damsels

[morientes]

damsels seem to be quite aggressive to me.. i'm interested in firefish and banded possum wrassel but have no idea where to get a banded possum wrassel..

[diabolus]

haven't you check out iwarna about the possum wrasse?

[morientes]

Where is Iwarna anyway? Can PM me the address? thanks alot!

contrary to what many ppl feel, it is actually possible to keep a tiny blue tang in a 1.5 feet, when u have very good filtration and skimmer. i have even kept 4 tangs in a 2 ft tank b4. but again, tat's just my opinion.

1.5ft is too small for tangs. 4 tangs in a 2ft tank is too much... and I'm not talking abt the bioload. Its the amount of space for the tangs to swim in.

[AquaRa]

hmm..yes . very true. but my tangs are damn small. around the size of half ur little finger.

[cjh]

haha

i have a indonesia YT in my 2feet tank now.. it seems quite happy in the tank....

[morientes]

Should be okie with the space if it's a TINY blue tang.. I think there's plenty for him to swim.. but when it grows up then it will be quite cramp.. my tank is a 1.5 x 1.5 x 1

[AquaRa]

there's a risk of the tang getting sucked into pipes. coz its too small. mine never grew larger den my little finger.

[morientes]

I don't have a pipe in my tank.. cheers so your blue tank never grow bigger?

[AquaRa]

no. they never grew bigger.

[morientes]

hmm.. so are they still alive? still healthy?

[morientes]

forget to ask u.. where did u get ur tiny blue tang? how much is it?

i wanna have one

[AquaRa]

cf . 1 for 12.

[morientes]

oh.. luckily not that expensive...
