I'm a bit partial to Nasos... I suppose some people like their angels and tangs... but I got hooked on Nasos.

Everyone knows what I have:
N. literatus (female)
N. elegans (male)
N. vlamingi
N. unicornis

OK...so is elegans different from literatus? I don't know, but the female is black and the male is blonde. (I didn't intend to add the female. She was a mistake that we thought was unicornis. It is so difficult to tell them apart when they are juv.) So that is four potentially enormous Nasos in my 400 gallon system.

They get along with every other fish, with one exception. None of them really like the female literatus. It's not a huge problem, but whenever they get stirred up you can bet that the she is in the middle of it. Unintentially, I might be conducting an experiment on keeping a pair "Nasos", even though one is black and one is blonde.

As for size....I'm not sure my tank is large enough for them in the longer term. The vlamingi grows so fast that I'm currently thinking he outgrows me in less than 2 years. The others grow much more slowly. I suspect that grow speed correlates to achieved maximum size as well.

Too many words...not enough pictures.
