I, myself wouldn't put a tang in anything less than an 80. She may have one in her tank at home, but I don't think it is a happy critter. This is just my personal opinion!!!
hellow everyone, my name is jake and i'm starting my first saltwater fishtank, its going to be a 30g long, with about 15lbs of live rock, today I went down to my local aquarium which is very educated and thier tanks are PERFECTO!! so I was talking to the girl who owns the store, and she said that i could do a blue tang in a 30 gallon!! do you guys think that will be ok, my grandfather has a 200gallon tank and he already said that when it gets bigger i could move it into his tank, what fish do you reccomend for a 30 long (fish that grow slowly) the lady had a french angle fish that wasn't that big and she said it was 5 years old, she also said that she has a blue tang in a 30 at her house and she has had it in there for 3 years!, so tell me what you all think, and everything you say will help me to learn more and more about these amaizing fish!

You can stunt a fish by keeping it in a small tank, but it is not good for it and they generally perish prematurely.
I just got a blue hippo tang for my 46 g, and got sick, so I REALLY recommend not to make the fish suffer and putting it in a small tank. Try maybe a Flame Angel, nice, good size for 30g and beautiful coloration.
Agreed, I wouldn't would do one in 30 long. As far as the second part of the question, you can get some chorisies, Sand sifting goby, Algea Blenny, a clown maybe a mated pair, small angel, royal gramma. I would stay with the small stuff.
ok, thanks for the advice guys.
