Everything you need to keep Naso Tang healthy in a South African setup.
A minimum 1500L aquarium suits Naso Tang. Match décor to natural behaviour — plants, rockwork, or open swimming room as needed.
Keep pH 8.1–8.4 and 24–27°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers — acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Naso Tang is herbivore — algae, nori, prepared foods. Feed a varied diet appropriate for saltwater fish — quality flakes, pellets, or frozen foods sized to the mouth.
Naso Tang is generally peaceful but very large and active. Observe during feeding and at lights-out for true temperament.
Pair with similarly sized peaceful but very large and active tankmates in saltwater fish. Avoid fin-nippers or species that outgrow this fish.
