Blonde naso tang?

[stravo71]

I ordered this guy from liveaquaria for $70. Said medium. Well I get him yesterday and he is maybe 2inches long. Amd he has no colors that a blonde naso tang has that I have seen on the interweb. Even on liveaquaria website. Dont know if its because it is so small but even doing research i can't find this coloration. He alsi gets white dots on his sides when he goes into a dark area of the tank. Has anyone seen a blonde naso look like this one. Thank you.

tried to get a pic of the dots. It is not ich by any meens. Its a color chamge in the pigment of the fish skin

Just juvenile colorations you're seeing

The white spots are night time/stress coloration.

hope he eats for you. I've never had luck getting those guys to eat. I also hope you have a LARGE tank 200 gallons plus

So far so good. He has been picking at everything in the tank and ate from a clip. He is in a 150 right now but my wife and I are building our new home next month and we are having a 375 built in to the wall. I'm gonna do a thread on that when we break ground.

Nasos look like that when juveniles. Their coloration continually gets better as they grow until the look spectacular as adults. Enjoy your new fish!.

that is great to here. About both, that he's eating and he will be treated nicely. I love these fish and it just breaks my heart when you see people put Naso's, Sailfin's, Powder Blue's plus more all in a 90 gallon tank and think it's ok.
