Kole Tang in a 50g 36x18x18?

[ficklefins]

I wanted to know what you guys/gals think about keeping a Kole Tang in a 50g breeder. Normally I'm not one of those people who likes to cram fish in small spaces but I've missed having the energy and life of a tang in my tanks.

Thanks.

depending on size and other fish in the tank you may be fine, but he will outgrow it quickly

seems small for a fish that gets about as big as two hands put together-I have seen some wild koles in diving in hawaii and they told me to tell you not to put them in your tank haha-if you do at least start with a relatively small one.

Don't worry I canceled my order. I wanted a rainfords goby but they were all out I guess I'll have to wait for my LFS to get them in stock.

.....but they are each only about the size of a nickle lol

love those little guys, just wished they would stay small.....that would be so cool.
