Post your Naso!!

Blonde or not, please post your Naso! Maybe even some "when I first got him" and then "this is him now" pics.

I have three...elegans, vlamingi, and unicornis. They are my favourites!

Two shots of the vlamingi.. 6 months ago...and now. Yikes!

Great fish Untamed 12 and a perfect example of why Vlamingi's shouldn't be kept in inappropriately small tanks (I am not referring to your 400g of course)

Ha...ha...vlamingi growth rate...yes... I'm a bit concerned about keeping him long term in the 400 gallon! He's already bulldozed a large digitata a few times.

Lovely personality...but man he is going to be a big fish!

N. elegans has gone from maybe 4" to 6" in 1 year, while the N. vlamingi has gone from maybe 2" to almost 7" in 6 months!

I've only had the N. unicornis for about 2 months and he seems to be growing very slowly.

Nice shot! He looks kind of "in thought"...like he's contemplating the meaning of life or maybe just thinking what an odd creature he is looking at right now....

Nice pictures, I still dont have a Naso yet BUT I'm going to within the next 6 months or so, I'm making sure my 210 will be ready to handle it

Quick question, Marine Center shows a gorgeous Naso tang but it is brown, not the gray color you always seem in hobbyist pictures. Is that a different species or what is the deal? I like the brown look much better than the gray and would like to get one of those if possible.

I just looked at that photo. It is N. literatus...but I think that the photo is influenced by the lighting it was taken under. They tend to look more greyish than brownish in real life.

That I know of...there is no brown variant.

Yeah, definitely a N. lieratus but so much browner than any I've ever seen. I wish that was a "variant" you could order, I like the look a lot.
