Naso Tang

[humuhumu1]

Is a 6'x18" tank big enough for a naso tang (naso literatus), the tank is 150 gallons, but the total system is 205 gallons. I just want to know if a naso tang can be housed there for life.

probably not for life but if you are like alot of us you will upsize down the road.
find a nice 4-5 inch naso and he will be good for 4-5 yrs.
they are the bigger of the tangs but they just dont grow as fast as in the ocean.
i would get him.

a 6 feet tank is enough.

Yeah they get huge I've seen them in big tanks and they need a lot of swimming room. Down the road if I had a lot of money I would build a cement wall tank with one window and it would be like 1000 gallon. But thats just a dream for now if you can get a 300 gallon that would last for awhile.

That tank is plenty big enough

Dear hobbyist, when I first brought my Blond Naso tang from the local fish store, it was in a 15 gallon tank at 3", so I put it in my 75 gallon and soon upgraded to a 150. Now he's 10" with streamers, has full color, and eats as though its always hungry.

I'd like very much to get a larger aquarium,but with larger aquariums come larger expenses .

.Enjoy the hobby
