Naso tangs are difficult tangs to keep. As all posters experienced they up and get sick for no apparent reason and die of starvation in front of you.

These tangs grow large and they need the large long 6 ft. minimum tanks that allow them to swim and also avoid the strees of having tankmates in close confinement.

They like highly oxygenated tanks therefore have a powerhead operating near the surface of the water.

They also eat brown algae so see if you can get your hands on some, soak it in garlic extreeme and place it near where it is hanging out.

Feed the other fish on the side of the tank.

Good Luck
