Nice Naso!
How is he doing with your Hippo and Achilles tang? Any problems yet? Also, how long have you had your Achilles? Is he hard to take care of? Reason I ask, is I have a Blue Hippo and I was thinking of getting a Achilles or Sailfin. I was told Achilles can be hard to keep.

hey scarface...nice new addition to ur tank. where would u get the silly idea that ur naso "dwarfs" the rest of ur fish?? hopefully u'll have better luck w/ this naso. I really like ur clams they look nice but maybe u should consider putting the maxima clam on the rock mine does GREAT there. well i've had some better luck w/ that rose BTA we've spoke about in the last post but unfortunately i bought a new BTA that was green w/ awesome orange tips but unfortunately it looks terrible these days. he turned completely white & deflated. Also the frogspaw in the pic...is that the plain one or the one with the purple/pink tips? I really love the one's with the pink tips...i've always wanted one of those. well nice to see the updated pics...keep us posted!!

The Naso is doing fine, no problems they sometimes swim together. As for the Achilles ive had him since Oct 2006 and hes great, in the beginning he didnt feed right away but what I did was put him in qt where he would learn to eat flake and frozen food and associate me with that and it took maybe about 1-2 weeks since then his hunger never stops, they do like a lot of flow so keep that in mind! HTH

Thanks. I QT all my fish for 3-4 weeks, so that won't be a problem. I'm still trying to decide on my third tang. I have a Blue Hippo and as per my daughter I need to get a Yellow Tang (he'll go in last), so that leaves me with one more tang for my tank. Either a Sailfin (not the Redsea) or Achilles......still trying to decide.
My tank is 125 gallons, 6' long, so I don't want to do more than three tangs. My Blue Hippo is still in QT but for only 1 more week if all goes well, then I'll be getting my Anthias then I'll need to make the final decision on that third tang. I'm thinking I should have gone larger with my tank.

we all wish we can go bigger, one day I want a 400 gallon tank but those are just dreams right now lol Good luck with whatever choice you make and if you go for the achillies let me know how it turns out but in my opinion I think you should add the achillies last or the same time with the yellow cause the acanthurus can be real nasty and mean to anyone else who you introduce to the tank, I got luck with the naso cause its double the size, but for some reason I tried to put a copperband in before didnt work out I had to bring the copperband back to the lfs

well if their like the sopranos that means the blue hippo, and achilles will be killed, and the naso will just disappear when its eating onion rings.
But i know what it looks like to have the tangs together, when i first started my 55 i had like a 5inch hippo, and a 4 inch naso, they would always swim together, it was so illegal, but looked so good. dont worry people their both in bigger tanks now, so im guessing yours is about 180 gallons?

well the hippo will be playing dead like sil is but actually isnt and yes sad but true the achillies will die playing with the veggie clip lol my tank is 125 gallons and its 6' long in the future I will be getting a 300-400 gallon tank (pipe dreams) lol and im not one to critize people with their tank sizes and their tangs so you have those two in a 55 isnt that bad at least they were small, we've all seen and read about the "othe people" with three big tangs in a 90 gallon tank lol

i think the tank looks to small for the naso imo. i would go with a purple tang red sea. btw ur tank looks really good. also would an achilles tang and a powder blue tang fight?

trust me hes fine but thanks for ur concern. And yes they will they are the same family
tangs with the same shape will generally not like each other unless added together and even that is a slim chance, were u thinking about either fish?

Nice tank, but seriously, that naso belongs in a 1000 gallon or better. Do not be surprised if/when he stops eating in about 3-4 months. I've been doing this stuff for almost 5 years from the retail, wholesale, and the general enthusiest side. I've kept tangs that size before, but it was in a 1400 gallon aquarium that was 13 feet long. I'm not bashing you, so please don't take offense to this post. I'm just telling you, from my past experience, that tang is not "fine" and he's not happy. And he probably will not survive a year. I MAY BE WRONG and I hope I am, for the fish's sake. Hell, I had a customer with a naso almost that size in a 75.... He died in that 75 before he got that size. Just my $.02
