I'm pretty sure a Tang is a salt water fish but if you have a fresh water (regular) fishtank, I'm not sure just adding salt will do it. I believe you have to have a salt water setup... check with a pet store that sells Tangs in your area.

That depends on how big the tank is. Small tanks that are easy to carry can have most of the water removed and then be picked up and relocated. Larger tanks will need to have the fish, water, plants, rocks etc removed and then be re landscaped after it has been relocated.

What do I do when my fish is at the bottom of his tank trying to get up but can't?
Check with the people who sold you the tank and or fish; they may have some ideas. You can't put fish right into water from the tap; if you did that it probably accounts for their discomfort. You need to condition the water to remove the chlorine. Tanks also need to be at the right temperature, and adding fish to tanks that are are a different temperature from their travel bags is really a shock to them. There are various conditioners you can get. There is also a special salt (yes, salt) that you can put into fresh water tanks; the salt is calming to the fish. Naturally, you put in only the amount given in the instructions. The people at the store may recommend some medications to add if there are symptoms that you can describe to them. Don't be discouraged; new tanks need to be conditioned over time, and they need to contain some healthy bacteria that will develop over time as well.

Filters keep the water clean for the fish, kind of like we need clean air to breath properly. Also, filters keep the tank clean by (yep you guessed it) filtering the water. I hope this helped^^

Tang are a marine species but they still need the same kind of feeding programme that most other fish need. That is at least 2 feeds daily (morning and evening) and only as much as it can eat in 15 minutes.
