help!! im lost and dont know what to do

[lucy10203]

here is the thing, im in another country, all the way in south america for vacation. so i trained my dad to take care of my tank. BUT soon i find out that he bought me a yellow tang, AND a clown tang!!! AGHHH and my tank is only a 55!! i dont know what to do. atleast i only had two little damsels inside beacuse i had a smal hippo but it died. my tank ahs been running for around8 months and has everything perfect, but i dont know what to do. my dad bought them 2 weeks ago and he says that they are swimming and doing fine. not fighting and eating. looking healthy. but im still extremely consenerened. i dont know much about a clown tang, but i do know that the yelow the minimum is 55. the yellow tang is a small size and so is the clown tang. help?? what should i do? :lipssealedsmilie: :help:

to be honest, long term, i would not keep either of these tangs in a 55 gallon tank. If your serious and want to keep these, then i would concider upgrading the tank to a minimum 75 gallon..

just a personal opinion...

the thing is, i cant upgrade ro a 55 and i dont know what to do. i would have never gotten these two int eh first place..

 

[Reefscape]

personally, i would speak to them and get them taken back for store credit...

but, that is just what i would do.....

I'd give your dad a slap LOL!

Seriously tho, get your Dad to take them back to the LFS

if they wont take them you could sell them on craigslist or even here.

well im nto sure if the store whill take them back, cause it has been around 2 weeks. its not my money down the drain but its my dad´s, which still sucks. around how much are the clown fish worth? is it possible to keep them in the tank or should i try to give them back to the fish store.??

most local fish store will take them back and give you store credit or a percent of what they would sell them for. Either way I would get rid of it or upgrade, since you said that you cant upgrade it kinda leaves you with one choice...

 

[lucy10203]

is it really impossible to keep the two fish? or at least the yellow tang?
