No, Tangs cannot be kept in fresh water. Tangs are a saltwater fish. The way I had it explained to me is that Saltwater Fish don't have enough salt in their bodies, so they have to live in saltwater to make up the extra, and visa versa. Putting a Tang in freshwater would be like putting you on Mars without oxygen.

Some tangs require a large aquarium; yellow tangs can grow to over 7 inches in length while blue tangs can grow up to 12 inches long. Juvenile blue tangs can be kept in smaller tanks up to 75 gallons but as they grow and mature they should be moved into larger aquariums.
