Question
Rachel is new to raising exotic fish. She starts a new 55 gallon aquarium and is interested in raising Yellow Tang. Soon after getting the aquarium, she looks for the requirements of Yellow Tang and finds the following paragraph.
"Through iconic to the reefs of Hawaii, the Yellow Hawaiian Tang can be found throughout the Pacific Ocean and is also known as the Yellow Sailfin Tang or the Yellow Surgeonfish. For best care, it should be housed in an aquarium of at least 100 gallons with ample room to swim. Like other Tangs, this fish demonstrates territorial aggression towards its own species. Therefore, it is best to keep just one Yellow Tang per aquarium, unless multiple Yellow Tans are introduced at the same time. Although the Yellow Hawaiian Tang will eat meaty foods along with the other fish in the aquarium, it is important to offer marine-based seaweed and algae at least three times per week. This will strengthen its immune system, reduce aggression, and improve overall health."
After reading the article, Rachel buys a couple of Yellow Tangs. Even though she takes excellent care of the aquarium and the fish by offering meat and seaweed, Rachel's Yellow Tangs do not grow as big as they are supposed to.
Which of the following would be a factor that limits the growth of the Yellow Tangs?
A. available food
B. available space
C. available light
D. available shelter

The factor that limits the growth of the Yellow Tangs is primarily **B. available space**.
According to the information Rachel found, Yellow Tangs should be housed in an aquarium of at least 100 gallons due to their territorial nature and the need for ample swimming space. Since Rachel is using a 55-gallon aquarium, the limited space could contribute to their stunted growth despite her providing proper care with food and nutrition.
