need input on tangs?

hey ruth, the male blonde naso is bluish and the female is grey? do you have pictures of him.

[Ruth]

I would have thought I had lots of pictures of him as I have had him for 2 years but if they are there I can't find them. I did find this one crappy one though.

I have an atlantic blue that is around the 5" mark. He's my favorite fish, and has quite the personality. He's in the middle of his yellow to blue transformation and it's been quite interesting watching this take place. He was only .75" a short 16 months ago.

The males can be determined by their tales. Males have long streamers off their tails.

That is a beautiful (blurry) Naso.

I have one too, only about 7" though , in my 65 G. workin on gettin a 180

Yes the males have the long streamers. My fish has streamers that are about 1.5" long.
I think I posted this picture in another thread and you still can't see the streamers but it is a bit better picture. Someday I will master this picture taking stuff.

sorry about that. when i was looking up info on it i was on liveaquaria.com and they have a female and a male blonde naso. they depict the male as being a blue hue over the body and the female being grey. misinformation on my part

[Ruth]

Well I just took a closer look at my fish and in fact the streamer are a good 6 inches long. Don't know where I came up with the first #?

either way like i said before he is gorgeous. now i know how to sex them. i picked up a half black mimic tang last night. the store exchange it for the naso i lost. the three tangs are doing really really good together. eating and everything. last night was entertaining watching the tomini and atlantic blue getting to know the mimic. no attacks but they do their flashing and fancy dancing. i actually laughed a few times
