I just got my naso, blonde and he got black ich, but is decreasing with herbatana. He loves nori, and eats energetically and seems well. My question is that he has splotches on his skin that are white and he is a light grey. He is about inches, and I'm thinking it is probably normal in a juvenile until his color develops.
They actually go away when he is eating. Any thoughts? I just got the lipstick tang two weeks ago. At first everything was doing well, but today I noticed that the blue morph tang was attacking the eyes of my lipstick tang, and the blue morph is a lot smaller.
I don't know what to do. I also have two nemos, a manderine, hermits, two star fish, and two sea urchins in a 75 gallon tank. All of the fish are small so I didn't think that I have too many already. I have a naso tang in a gallon tank with other tangs and he is doing fine only because he has his own hiding space in a large 35 lb rock in one area of the tank.
I would not buy this fish unless you have a tank of gallons or more. Naso tangs are territorial and need a lot of swimming space, otherwise they starve themselves out of the equation.

Sean - I have had a naso tang for mounths in a six foot tank.
It's doing excellent and this tang has become very well tamed and I can put my hand in a stroke it. The colors are beautiful. Also kept with xl ocean tang, maroon clown, 3 yellow tail damsels, male square anthius, elbi angel, snowflake moray and a zebra moray.
All the fish get on perfectly well. Does tend to fade in color at night. Kept at temperatures of degrees. All levels of tests are fine except nitrate, which is bit high. Sump has live rock and biorbs. The naso tends to like fast flowing water in the tank. I got that through a tunze streamline which does a brilliant job. Tell your story! Add a Classified. More Pictures. Thanks Jeremy Roche - Sounds normal for a young fish that just got or being sick.
Keep a close eye on it for a couple weeks to make sure there are no changes. The black spots are gone, and the splotches seem to be blending in. I appreciate your help! Any thoughts on your heater selection? I have been through 4 that are not accurate or just stop working with the light on!

Juveniles are frequently misidentified and sold as N. The true N. The unicorn tang N. Juveniles have a smooth forehead, but as the fish grow, they develop a horn that projects straight forward from the forehead. The horn is more developed in adult males, though it seldom extends beyond the mouth. Unicorn tangs are rather drab in coloration, being a uniform grey, but the horn is so striking that it more than makes up for the lack of bright colors.
Adult specimens are suitable only for the very largest aquariums. Other species may be available from time to time, but be sure to research them prior to purchase, as many grow even larger than those discussed here.

Housing Naso Tangs The genus Naso is diverse, and many of the species grow to lengths of 2 to 3 feet, making them suitable only for extremely large tanks in public aquariums.
My Confession A little confession is in order here. Preferred Tank Dimensions Nasos tend to be active in all levels of the aquarium, so they are excellent additions to taller tanks. Feeding Naso Tangs Naso tangs are primarily herbivores by nature, though they also feed on plankton. Special Considerations A characteristic that sets the genus Naso apart from most other tangs is the presence of multiple spines on the caudal peduncle.
While these particular Wrasse doesn't make good pets, Neon Gobies or cleaner shrimp are a good substitute and can help your Naso Tang stay healthy. This fish is a herbivore, with a diet preference for brown macroalgae in the wild they prefer to munch on Sargassum and Dictyota. On rare occasions, an individual may pick at large-polyped corals. The Naso Tang will also eat Mysis Shrimp and other meaty fares if it is offered to it, particularly if it sees other fish eating it.
Only male Naso Tang have trailing caudal streamers. Naso Tang are pair spawners. The fertile eggs float along the surface of the ocean, carrying the larvae far and wide.

The Naso Tang is often more decorated and brightly colored. Juvenile fish are more of a gray color, but colors deepen and intensify as they age.
The snout can be dark brown or black with a bright yellow coloring around the eyes and down to the mouth. The dorsal is black with a blue line along the back. Male fish take on a lyre shape tail with a yellow vertical stripe towards the back. Due to their large size, it is recommended to house these fish in at least a gallon tank. They also need plenty of room to swim and hide.
Be sure to have a tight-fitting lid to prevent jumping to escape. This species is aggressive toward other tangs but peaceful with other fish in the tank.
