This Is Woodys Fault!

[heavenly_d3vi1]

So, Woody's gone and got me thinking now If I was to get a teeny baby regal tang for my 90g, how long realistically would I have before an upgrade was needed?

 

[sorgan]

How long is the tank

 

[heavenly_d3vi1]

It's only a 4ft, most the volume comes from extra height, annoyingly!

 

[woody88]

Oh i see! Blame me then!

From what I've heard they grow pretty quick if well fed. Don't know how true this is tho.

You could get a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny one but be prepared to find it a new home eventually or upgrade! Or just give it to weez so she can put it in her 6ft ocean!

 

[weezawoo]

Yes I can be the moving on tank haha! Cornwalls not that far ....

 

[seffieuk]

Nah, they dont grow really quick - mine was the size of a 20p when I got him he is now about three inches and that has taken near on two years (I think!)

 

[heavenly_d3vi1]

Whoa, it probably really is do-able then!!! If I've not got a bigger tank within 2 years then its coz I'm dead And yeah.. weezas not that far, if I REALLY get stuck!!

Go for it then HD!

Im happy to be the rescue tank

I honestly think if you are going to upgrade tho it will be fine! You have a year as my regal will be the last addition to my tank! haha

 

[heavenly_d3vi1]

Yes I think I will go for it!! As Wezza said.. it will be the last addition anyway, so by that time I'll be even closer to an upgrade! All I need to do before an upgrade is possible is buy a twin pram, a people carrier and move house.. and that kinda needs to all be done before or VERY soon after this baby is born!! Then I can start upgrade planning!

 

[weezawoo]

Although HD, I don't know how it would work, but if you are upgrading does that mean you will then be adding more fish? I was told tangs are last because they get territorial. Now I know it will be a new tank but would there be problems? Im more asking for someone who knows their stuff to just confirm to you it will be ok lol

 

[heavenly_d3vi1]

Ah yes, thats a very good point weeza, hadn't thought of that..

 

[seffieuk]

Ah yes, thats a very good point weeza, hadn't thought of that..

baby tangs for the most part are right little wooses, only bigger ones are a problem

Thanks for clearing that up!

 

[weezawoo]

But at what size are they a problem Seffie? If its a year from when she got him when she upgrades will he be too big and be a problem? Or does that mean I could actually add my regal sooner if I get a baby one? haha
