bucky1168 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I am just trying to get enough information about these guys before would get one. What I have read about the Naso Tang is the are peaceful for the most part but can be aggressive towards other Naso Tangs and other Tangs in general. I currently have just upgraded to a 220 gal tank and it is a FOWLR. I have about a 4 in Hippo Tang, 2 in Scopas Tang, and a 4 in Sailfin Tang. By adding the Naso, is he going to be aggressive towards them? I know there are alot of factors that can have an bearing on this but I am looking for peoples experience on this guys. The Naso I am looking at is about a 7-8 in male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coralreefer Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 that is a big Naso--wouldn't expect him to be too aggressive as he is being added last...they are indeed peaceful...probably won't be a problem but you will need to feed decently to keep everyone happy...how much room do you have?

Michael7979 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I would think he would be most aggresive toward like shaped tangs since he is being added last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrMerle Thanks for the info. I will have the rockwork set up for lots of open space. I am still moving into this tank and am trying to have some forthought into this since everyones home is being moved around. I have heard these guys eat like crazy. This Naso is beautiful and has inch long streamers. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the last fish I am planning on adding if I do in fact add him. I have had a large blonde naso and it wad my first tang I threw in a larg yellow tang and then I just threw in a good sized hippo and the hippo follows the naso everywhere mine is very nice I almost wan to try to get another one to make a pair They are pretty. He is currently in a tank with a female that looks just like him, except for the lack of streamers. They were not a pair but have been housed together for a short time. No issues short term but I am looking for the life of this fish, since I have read they can live a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee77 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Is there a blonde naso and a normal naso in the same tank or both blondes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Probably no aggression since it is a male and a female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucky1168 Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Is there a blonde naso and a normal naso in the same tank or both blondes I believe since the male is not a blonde and the other one has the exact same coloration, it is a female Naso (non-blonde).
