Yea it's the "right" way to do things..and the smart way it will keep the fish you already have in your tank from getting any parasite from the new fish.....I personally don't bother I found as long as your credit a stress free enviroment, and you keep your fish fed they stay happy and healthy.....

It's one of those things that are kinda like a crap shoot, most of the time there isn't a problem, BUt that one time i had ich run through my tank 8-9 months ago.... it sucked BIG time.

So it would be better not to quarantine the tang if I don't have a bigger tank?

You don't need to QT your first fish, your quarting them from other fish.
