hi anyone knows if i can put a yt in my 2 footer? its half bare sand and half with structure, i know i can but it might not be happy. but i got some swimming space so must ask u all seniors for comments

Best not too...I doubt your tank would have enough algae for it to graze on.

if you are able to find one that is aclimatised properly.....it will take pellets and brine shrimps.....used to have a Yt in my 2 FT tank...really nice centre piece....

I think yt & for that matter most tangs need some veg for healthy growth. Try feed it some nori or plant stuff.

Food is not the main source of problem to put a YT in a 2 footer. For a 3" YT, yes u can but they need lot of swimming space as they grow. best recommend one tang in 4 ft tank

Only when it is very small and and 2 ft tank has no other Tang. Once it grow to over 3", it's poo can be a lot and your system might not hold. Also, it needs lots of space to swim. I recommend at least 3 ft tank.

It is definately not recommended to squeeze a tang into a 2 footer

yeah i think so, even if it survive it wont be healthy. try and get other smaller but more exotic ones, like royal gamma
