My Naso loves me. Or, at least, has grown accustomed to my big face... He used to be as shy as the Purple. Now he is a torpedo - should see him at Mysis time... Loads of character in that one.

In my ignorance I bought it 2 1/2 years ago, about 3 weeks after the tank had finished it's cycle. Him and I have gone through a lot, like 2 tank leeks and of course me learning all I could about him. I got him from animal house (Pre Hidden Reef) and he was the about 2 inches. he is close to 4 inches now. and is in need of a bigger home. I hope I will soon be able to give him that home after I move.

Mine is an elongate or A. mata. I bought it as a blue-line tang (10") but it turned out its an Elongate tang (20"). It's about the fastest growing fish I've ever seen. Smaller than my damsels 3 months ago (1"). Now, it's over 5" and still growing. I feed my fish nori, mysis, enriched brine, frozen angelfish food, blood worms, OSI Marine flakes & Spirulina flakes, and freeze-dried plankton. They eat better than I do Need a much bigger tank soon. 200+g anyone???

i've had a few tangs in my time... and i LOVE them ALL!!

i voted for PowderBlue though...

she is awesome... here's her story...

had wanted one forever... finally felt my tank was ready for one...(had a purple tang at the time already)

she was in a tank with about 20 yellow tangs was looking a touch too thin for my liking, but she was alert and had a good appetite at the LFS so i took her home...

intoduced her to the tank, she didnt flinch for a second, no dashing no darting no hiding... the purple didnt chase her at all. she had claimed her spot as QUEEN!!

she put on weight in no time and has been lookin beautiful ever since.

she did break her back once while getting caught in a fishtrap, which scared the crap outta me, as i saw her awkardly swim away with a really bad bent spine. but it corrected itself in a few hours! to my relief!

Default tang

I vote for the Sohal tang because with al of l my experiences with tangs, the Sohal is one of the most robust fish I've ever own. I got it 4 months ago and for the first month he was full of ick. I not did quaratine nor treat him for ick, he battle ick himself. As for temperment, mine is nice guy in comparsion to most others. I have five other fish in the tank and he doesn't bother any one of them.

I'm dreamin' about that "small Sohal" they have listed at J&L now...

But these are still my 2 faves and they'll do just fine.
