Looking for a majestic grazer with personality, presence, and polish? Look no further than the Blonde Naso Tang—a large, graceful surgeonfish with a sleek gray-silver body, glowing orange highlights, and that signature “lipstick” coloration around the mouth and tail. This fish is a true centerpiece in large reef and FOWLR systems.

At YoCamron’s Aquatics, we understand that Naso tangs—especially the Blonde variant—need more than just space to thrive. They require focused conditioning, long-term quarantine, and a nutrient-rich, stabilized environment to unlock their full potential. That’s exactly what we deliver.

Our Blonde Naso Tangs are quarantined and bulletproofed for long-term success with:

• Copper + Chloroquine Phosphate to wipe out ich and velvet before it can gain a foothold
• Formalin dips for external parasites like flukes
• Kanamycin + Nitrofurazone to prevent and treat bacterial infections during stress transitions
• Internal deworming using Fenbendazole and Levamisole to eliminate unseen parasites
• Appetite restoration protocol with Nori, LRS herbivore blends, garlic-soaked pellets, and Spirulina

Why Choose a Naso from YoCamron’s Aquatics?

• Our tangs are fully acclimated to aquarium life, eating aggressively and showing zero signs of stress
• Socialized and active, perfect for large systems with tangs, angels, wrasses, and other reef-safe species
• Their constant grazing behavior makes them natural algae controllers, especially for macro growth on rocks
• Red Sea specimens (when available) offer intensified coloration and even more vibrant fin patterns

Key Highlights:

• Peaceful nature makes them ideal for community tanks
• Long, trailing filaments develop on adult males, giving them a dramatic flowing appearance
• Lipstick-red highlights and blonde dorsal stripe make this tang visually unforgettable

Compatibility Notes:

Blonde Naso Tangs do best in tanks 180 gallons or larger due to their active swimming and large adult size. They are generally peaceful, but should not be housed with other Naso species or similar-shaped tangs unless in massive systems. Thrive best with high oxygenation, strong flow, and frequent feedings of marine-based greens.

This is not just another tang—this is a centerpiece grazer, a gentle giant, and a true showpiece when properly conditioned. At YoCamron’s Aquatics, we take the time to make sure every Blonde Naso we offer is ready for the spotlight—not the hospital tank.
