I had a report to do for school. I wanted to do something that has to do with nemo but I didn't have the time to look up the movie type of fish. They had in the movie, but I typed in the top 10 most beautiful fish and this was listed number 6. Any way I loved learning about this fish. I am going to do an extra credit project on it! go fish!

The blonde naso tang is a must in every large aquarium.

My sailfin's name was Dreamgirl. She was a beautiful fish who I grew very fond of. She would actually rub against my finger when I fed her. I sadly lost her to an unknown disease. She is and always will be missed. I became very attached to her.

I have had them for months. I don't have any problems with the achilles, it's the blonde naso's I have issues with (typically giving up and refusing to eat after a short time).

I have a fairly new 90 gallon, fish-only, tank--all stocked. The newest is the Kole tang, and he gets along with all the others (lined butterfly, 4 pj cardinals, cleaner wrasse, pink spotted shrimp goby, tomato clown, and coral beauty angel). The only problem, and one I can't figure out, is when the coral beauty gets in a certain place in the tank behind some coral, he attacks!! It is not even in the area he calls home at the opposite end of the tank. The rest of the time, all is peaceful. I wish I knew what is different about the angel going between these particular coral. If anyone knows, please let me know!
So far, the Kole eats algae off the sides of the tank, and Emeral Entre. I have live sand but just a little live rock. I hope he is getting enough. Is it really o.k. to give him romaine lettuce? It isn't a natural food and I hesitate doing it.
Thanks to anyone who can give me some advice.

This fish is a difficult fish to keep, water parameters should be like you are keeping the most delicate coral ever attempted. They need room to swim, places to hide, and rocks to graze on. They do not like other tangs, especially if the other tang is a new fish. I have tried 3 powder blues over about 10 years. The 1st one was when I was new to saltwater and it lasted about a week, and the second one I bought from the handpicked what you see is what you get section of a top end online retailer. I had it for 1 1/2 years. It was an amazing fish but suddenly stopped eating and withered away. The 3rd was from a top end online retailer. The fish was seemingly in perfect health. It ate everything I feed the tank except it would not touch nori(seaweed) no matter what form the food was in or what method of presentation I used, and it died after 2 1/2 months. Was perfectly fine when I went to bed but was dead when I turned on the tank lights in the am. I would love to have another one but i will not have another one. My tank is 7 ft long and the last 2 definitely were from the best collection areas for healthy powder blue tangs, and not from the indo region.

I just got a unicorn tang and he seems to be settling in well. Still a bit stressed, but it has just been 2 days and the yellow tang is doing a bit of chasing. He is a nice fish and hope he settles in well.

Regal tangs are cute, clever and nice looking. Last week I bought one from a pet shop in china town. It was very skinny at first but after lots of feeding it finally grew bigger. I feed it with fish food, vegetables, and prawns.
