Naso Tangs...
It would seem that I've got a thing for Naso Tangs. (I think it is those big doe eyes)....Here is my latest addition - Naso unicornis. I do hope he is a male, because I would love to see him develop a horn. I suppose I won't know for a year or so.
He doesn't nearly have the appetite of the elegans or the vlamingi. In fact, so far he has not shown any interest in nori at all. As a result, he's not packing on as much weight as I would like...but he seems to be doing OK on a diet of mostly formula 1, 2 and mysis.  Since I'm talking about Nasos...here's a shot of the three amigos. The really significant thing about this picture is the fact that the vlamingi (Freckles) is almost as large as the elegans (Moe). It was only almost three months ago that the vlamingi tang would have been 1/5 the size of the elegans (Moe). Between the two of them, they eat 1/4 sheet of Nori less than a minute....

Hi Brad
If you get any more Tangs you will have to change your (untamed) to something like Tangs Unlimited. Looks great Brad Tom R

The educated eye might have noticed the fourth Naso (literatus) in the background. I'm not allowing myself to get attached to that one as he/she is going to go to another home someday soon. Three is certainly enough.
I'm done with large fish. No more (fingers crossed). Even with 400 gallons of swimming room, you have to draw the line somewhere. The only fish left on the 'list' are some small coral gobies, and some very small affordable schooling fish (ie: food for the Lookdown!) I'm wondering if damsels will school if they are frightened enough....? These won't be added until the coral has grown up enough to offer protection. The vision is to recreate what I've seen many times in THE aquarium, where the school hovers above a coral head and disappears into it when threatened. Does that sound untamed enough, Tom?
