    Yellow Tang and stocking level questions

    This might be a stupid question but what is the smallest size a yellow tang should be in. My 46 bow currently has,

    1.tiny wild ocelaris
    1.small to medium tank raised percula
    1.tiny yellow clown goby
    55 lbs live rock(fiji)
    8-12 snails
    8-12 assorted small hermits

    coral includes

    frogspawn frag(3heads)
    hammer frag (3heads)
    3 mushrooms
    2 patches of xenia
    1 patch of anthalia
    4 patches of star poyps(3greem 1 brown)
    2 frags of what might be leathers
    1 mushroom looking thing that isnt a mushroom

    Now what I need to know is what can I add. I am planning on adding another yellow clown goby and a green clown goby. I dont want it to be overcrowded but now there not that much movement I would like a little more.

    Floyd,

    To be perfectly honest, I think the smallest tank for a yellow tang should be at least 75g tank. Not that you can;t keep it in a 46g tank while it is a tiny juvenile, but do understand that it will have to be moved in about a year to a larger tank. I am not from a tang police either... ;)
    Kind regards,

    Gene.

    Floyd,

    There is a miriad of very interesting gobies and blennies that you could chose from. I think they make a wonderful additions in a smaller tanks and the fact that they remain small helps a ton.
    Check www.fishbase.org for your research, if anything, I think a Pistol shrimp ( Alpheus randalli) and a Stonogobiops nematods would make an exellent addition, providing that you can find a pair.
    Kind regards,

    Gene.
