Adding female Naso

[spoonman1979]

I recently acquired a large male blonde naso male with streamers. Would it be possible to add a known female with him? I realize they cannot spawn, I like the idea of a pair.

It's possible but as always with pairing, not guaranteed to work. Tank size and size of the nasos in question would help.

The tank is 360 gallon, the tang is a bit over 6".

IMO tank size is on the edge for a pair of adult nasos, but that said I know somebody local that had a pair in that exact tank (8 foot right?). Those were collected in Hawaii as a pair though, so I'm not sure if that would be a problem for you. Either way, have a plan B ready for the female and use an isolation box method for at least a few days after introduction.
