Lookes good man! I do like the look of it. I think that is a normal naso not a blonde but still a fine fish. That is one tang I have had no luck keeping for some strange reason.

As Fade had posted in the thread about my new Naso, I sadly get to jion in his ranks of one who lost his Naso. John he was eating, swimming from one side to the other, pooin' and over all looked colorful and healthy showed no signs of an illness. Last Saturday both my wife & myself watched him swimming about and eating, however Teusday Morning when I came home from work I couldn't find him. We both looked for about an hour with no luck, searching the entire room as well as tank. He just disapeared?? Wensday Rich1972 came to work tell me he found him stuck up in the coner of the overflow, not in it just next to it. He was not their when we were looking. I'm not quite ready to give up on the Naso tang yet though. I don't want to tarnish any LSF but niether IM LON2, Rich1972 Or myself have any fish surrvive for a long amount of time when purchased from a certain LSF. It was hard to tell if it was the store's fault or our's or just mother nature due to the bad storms and lost of power last year.
However I now have fish from other LSF's as does Lonnie & Rich and they have been alive and well for some time now. I would like to in the future try a Naso tang once again. So it pains me to say.......You might have been right John

I looked and looked at all my references and didn't seem to find anything that would tell me that it was a "sensitive" fish. Could be collection methods. The Hippo is notorious for bad collection maybe the naso has similar methods. Outside of that, I can't say that it is a particular LFS considering they all get them from the same suppliers all in all right? Having said all that I would say it was collection methods.IMO

well mike could be lfs, cause the bristletooth tang i got from there at same time you got your naso was found dead 4 days ago and all other fish are just fine, but i did manage to catch a fish i was wanting to get out of my 75 for ya.

i got 2 of these and i caught one cause they were not getting along to well and was supposed to be able to keep two so was wondering if you wanted it. Great sandsifter and the best part is this fish has been eating hair algae in my tank. Let me know if you want it i got it in a 10 gallon tank with two mono argentina's i need to get rid of also.
