So far, he's not at all aggressive, as I introduced him to a 6" foxface, 3" naso tang, 4' christmas wrasse, 2.5" flame angel, pair of percs. In fact the foxface was chasing Him around.

He's a great fish, always scraping algae off the live rocks.

Naesco, I don't feed my fish very much, so I know he won't grow much in the next couple years. Don't worry, he'll be o.k. in a 4 foot tank for now.
That's it, no more fish to add to this tank.
Please send my condolences and sympathies to your naso tang.

Sohal is also my dream fish. My 225 is empty and I still think I've run out of room for one. Shame such an amazing fish.

And I'm not judging here. Any tank is too small for any fish If I really want to think about it. I just don't want to =)

I have a blonde Naso with my Sohal... The Blonde I got about 1.5 months ago, and I guess I have been lucky as my Sohal doesn't bother him.

Be careful though, Sohals are aggressive... Mine was very aggressive when I first got him. He harrassed my foxface, nipped his fins badly, but as the Sohal grew up, this went away.

I also contribute his aggression to his diet. Dennis at Golds had him on pellets and mysis, etc... But when I brought him home, I could only get him to eat algae sheets. It took many months, but have him on everything now, and since he started eating pellets, his aggression went away. I guess I have had him about 8 months now.

Otherwise my showpiece along with the Blonde Naso! Both very beautiful fish
