We study minimal disjoint degenerations for representations of tame quivers. In particular, we prove that their codimensions are bounded by 2. Therefore a quiver is Dynkin resp. Euclidean resp. wild iff the codimensions are 1 resp. bounded by 2 resp. unbounded. We explain also that for tame quivers the complete classification of all minimal disjoint degenerations is a finite problem that can be solved with the help of a computer.
