Naso Tangs

[Ryan Finchell]

Can anyone tell me how to tell the difference between male or female naso tangs "lipstick tangs"

Adult males Blonde Naso Tangs have streamers on their tail. This doesn't show for a while though.

Sexing any tang is basically impossible for us fishkeepers, as far as I know. Could do bloodwork or necroscopy to find out. Some males in that genus do get streamers as adults.
