    No offense, but I think it would do to skip tangs, just to keep arguments down.

    most basslets will live in 15- 20 gallon tank min.

    iwas thinking this too, along with mandarins. but i think most beginners will be willing to accept a guideline without argueing about it. i think the tank should be to the biggest extent to avoid the whole well if its ok for a 75 gallon surely its okay in my 65 gallon, then if its okay in his 65 gallon surely its okay in my 45 gallon deal. id say no tang guidelines under 75 gallons.

    List updated ;)
    The only list that is going to be updated will be the original one (The second post)
    We are going to need A LOT more fish on the list though.
    If you could contribute even just one fish to the list that would be great ;)
