Default Tang Question

I was wondering, I have a 29 gallon long reef tank and i have really loved yellow tangs.. Could i get one for this tank or would it be too small? I could give the tang to a friend when it outgrows my tank..or would that not be a good idea?In the tank already I have a Bangii Cardinalfish, Clownfish, and a Firefish. If i get the tang it would be my last fish too.

Yes way too small of a tank for a yellow tang. They like to swim around a lot even when small.
