My New Tiny Blonde Naso Tang :)

btkrausen · May 16, 2012

Picked this girl up from Divers Den the other day and I got her in today. She is so tiny, even smaller than my female Akindynos clownfish.

I can't wait to watch her grow up in my tang to become a beautiful centerpiece.

Great pick up! Nice shots of the two fish for size comparison.

Nice shot and wow that is small... Does the naso eat well? I heard that tangs in the super small size have issues with eating the normal tank food.

I'm not sure what she ate the first time as she was being shy. However, I'm about to feed PE Mysis & Bloodworms soaked in Omega 3 fish oil, so we'll see what happens.

That female clown is like 3.25 inches according to Divers Den. They listed the blonde Naso at 3 inches

Ok, update, haha.

Just fed and she ate very well. Gobbled up quite a bit of both Mysis and bloodworms, so pretty please about that.

Congrats Brian! She's a little cutie! I would love to have one, but I don't think our large Desjardini would be pleased at the prospect of another Tang roommate...

Oh so cute!!

btkrausen · May 16, 2012

Thanks guys. That'll likely be the last tang in my system, as I already have three...unless I do a small Chevron.

Very nice, I recently picked up a little juvi myself..... maybe 2" including tail. Sweet fish for sure

Exactly why I bought the tiny one instead of the medium sized one. I really enjoyed watching my Orange Shoulder go from a tiny yellow tang to a gorgeous mid-adult colors so far.
