My new Baby (Naso lituratus)

[StephenA]

Here is pic of my newest addtion. He seems to get along with everyone except for my Rabbit Fish. The Rabbit fish picks on him. He's been picking at most of the green stuff in the tank.

Does anyone else have one of these? If so, what does your's eat?

Those of you that have been here, he's bigger than my Blue Throat.

Looks nice! I use to have one, a Blonde Naso though, but he LOVED Nori and seaweed selects! They're VERY personable too, as mine would eat nori out of my hand!

BTW, how big is it eactly?

[StephenA]

Six inches.

Beautiful fish! I had one long ago, happy, healthy, ate everything for about 6 months ... then one day he just quit eating and was gone about a week or two later?

[FSU]

try feeding it out of your hand! Mine took to it roughly the 2nd or third try!

I have one currently, about the same size as yours, maybe a bit longer. I love them as they are beautiful fish. It's a fat pig and loves to eat all the time! I have to watch it when I feed flake food as it will nip at my fingers. I feed all 3 of the Seaweed Selects, although it seems to not like the green as much as the others. It also eats Ocean Nutrition's Prime Reef and Formula 2 flake as well as various frozen foods.

If you decide there is no place for him, I have a happy home for him. I have lots of brown algae for him.

He sure is nice.

PM it or something.

Thanks

I have one and he is something else I tell ya!!!! He is with 3 regals, a foxface (rabbitfish), and a moorish idol. They all get along great, but sometimes have their issues which is to be expected. When one of them makes the naso mad, he butts them with the thorn on his tail and they give in real quick!
He is also the ONLY one in the tank that will not eat any type of pellet food. It can be carnivore or herbivore - doesn't matter. He prefers frozen brine and bloodworms, but will take nori and sea veggies.

When I upgrade to the 180 - this will prob be our new addition...hubby wants one. :) Beautiful fish.

I have one as well. He loves the nori from tim's asian food market. Which a guess is the same as the seaweed selects except for the price 50sheets for $7.

[captexas]

It is about the same as the dried green seaweed. I like to mix up what I feed to my fish so I buy the Seaweed Selects red and brown seaweeds to go with the green.

[Henry]

I wonder if tim's sells red and brown as well. I know they had a pretty good selection.

All I've gotten from them is the green. It's the best value around for nori.
