FS: 9 inch Naso Tang, 9 inch Desjardini Sailfin Tang

[bluemon]

I really don’t want to do this as they are my sweethearts, especially the Naso Tang, but I realized they are getting a bit too big for my 125gallon….

I’ve had them for 2+ years, grown them from 3-4 inches and 4-5 inches respectively.

they were QTed when they were put in and never had any diseases.

they are fat, eat out of your hands, and will eat anything.

attached are some pictures. They play nice with each other.

Pricing each at $150, or $250 for both.

I would prioritize homes with a bigger tank and those who take them both.

I would also need sometime to actually catch them somehow…

it would also unfortunately have to be curbside pickup.

located in Irvine

Hello: I would be interested in the Naso. My aquarium is a standard 180 6x2x2 dimension. Totally understand if you are looking for homes larger. The aquarium is a mixed reef and I can happily send photos for reference.

I am going to try to prioritize homes that want to take both..

Also talked with the fam and they really don't want to let them go and would rather go for a tank upgrade this year. But keeping this thread open to see if anyone has a good home for them

Love them - I got a pair of male & female Naso tangs and they get along well. GLWS

It’s hard to get clean fish so I would just upgrade to a bigger tank!

Thanks for all the interest from potential new homes but the fam was heartbroken at the thought of losing these two, so much that the talk of an upgrade is back on the table.

If the upgrade hasn’t happened in half a year, I can reopen conversations to those who have reached out. Thank you all

Good call —

btw: I believe your naso is a female (no streamers)

My male blonde naso looks like this. The regular female looks like yours.

I had an inkling.

I knew they are not sexually dimorphic until fully grown, so I was waiting for it to develop streamers, but since it’s quite grown and still hasn’t developed streamers, she probably is a female. Good call.

also, great looking tank with a lot of Tangs! Including the sailfin and Naso. May I ask what size the tank is?

Tank is a 450gal - the 90gal frag tank is not connected to the DT. Good view of the Naso’s
