citron gobies are cool. I personally never had a problem with my tang.

The more I read on the internet, it seems that Lemon Peels are pretty risky
overall. Not a good newbie fish.
I like those little Gobies too.... I`m gonna stock my 65 gallon with little
guys. I just wanted to have 1 or 2 medium size, bright colored free swimmers
to make the tank look nice from a distance. Earlier on I was thinking Yellow
Tang ---but Again, the dreaded internet info overload.After finding a dozen
places that say they are "Easy", I stumbled upon camps that suggest keeping
Tangs in anything smaller than 48", 75 Gallons is inhumane.(Ive got 36" 65
Gal.)
Ive also read that they prefer to be kept in groups. And that not meeting
these standards are the culprits that make them succeptable to parasites.
Do Y-Tangs ever show up as Juvies---real small, like Quarter size? I often
see the Hippo Tangs that small. I like those guys too---but they just have
that "I`m frail and gonna die in a heartbeat" look to them. If I found a
Yellow that small I guess I could keep it for a few years before having to
move it out.
Of course I also see posts all over the net about people keeping them in
40s,30s, even 20s.
