Naso in 75

[kingnick1]

Anybody out there have a naso tang in a 75? If so is it doing well or is it really too big for the tank. Thinking about doing it. I know they do get huge though.

Hi. It's way too big a fish for a 75 gallon. These guys get big fast, and I mean very big. In a 75 gallon, I'd stick with Zebrasoma tangs.

he will get restless and jump out, they are a really cool fish, but it is a little tank for them even at 3" they are stream lined and like alot of room to swim, awesome fish

4- 6 mos..maybe. They're large, stiff bodied, open water fish that need lots of lateral swimming room. They also grow fairly fast. Even 6 foot tanks are too small for a healthy adult specimen. Go with a smaller species (kole,yellow,scopas..)
