SRC Member JustinK Posted May 17, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted May 17, 2004 Make sure your tank has a canopy or something to prevent them from jumping out of your tank whenever they are stressed or something. my fire goby used to jump out quite easily, so igave them away in the end... since your depth is 2.5ft (wah! ur tank very deep leh), hopefully it wont be a problem for you.

clownman Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 i have a ~1.5 inch BT in my 1.5 ft tank. it's doing well so far. though not much area to swim, it's still very active. will be getting a 3 ft tank for him soon ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepBlue Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 clownman...nothing beats hearing from a reefer who actually has the blue tang in a small tank.... These are active fishes...so it will cope but it isnt suitable as they cant swim wel.....I'm sure you'll enjoy seeing it zip from one corner to another....hmm.............3ft tank...ok.......4 paddles..it'll reach the other end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire goby is the fish at the main page of sgreef.... Got one myself...cute but very nervous....maybe from earlier threads might be better to have another 1 or 2, although I also read that they fight....
