    What are the dimensions? They need a decent amount of lateral swimming room... Most say 48" minimum I think.

    at best i would say a tomini or kole eye but thats a decent bio load as is so be careful the only one on your list is the kole all the rest get way to big for a tank like that

    Get a kole tang, but only if it is replacing a few fish you have, currently.

    Thanks, I really want a tang, but I also dont want to stress my current system or a new fish.

    A yellow tang or anything like that should be okay.
