Description

Environment

The Naso Blonde Tang prefers a large tank with plenty of open swimming space. It also needs plenty of hiding spots to feel secure. The tank should have a strong current to mimic its natural habitat.

Behavior

This fish is known for its active and sociable nature. It enjoys swimming and exploring its environment. However, it can be territorial with other tangs and unicornfish.
