Naso tang ("Hey baby, check out my streamers")
Hello
I wanted to compliment you on your website, I think it's the most complete
internet site about aquarium and marine related topics on the net .(is there
anything that you don't know!!), I go on it almost every day to learn new
things, it is very helpful.
<Pleased to hear it, share>
My question is that I have a Naso tang about 5-6 inch long it doesn't seem to
develop the "streamer", how much time does it take normally
is it only the male who develops the streamer I am a little bit confuse, and if
so how can we tell if it's a male? I went to my local pet shop and nobody seems
to have the answer.
<Yes to some specimens not developing the caudal/tail fin streamers with
age/growth. This is a sexual characteristic... of males. I had a friend at OTEC
(Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Lab), now NELHA (Natural Energy Lab Hawai'i
Authority) on the Big Island, Kailua-Kona who was captive breeding and trying to
rear Naso lituratus who told me that not quite so mature males sometimes lacked
streamers... but all streamered individuals he assayed were functioning males.
