{"product_id":"naso-tang","title":"Naso tang","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe naso tang (Naso lituratus), sometimes called the lipstick tang, is a large Pacific surgeonfish with a grey-brown body, a bold yellow dorsal fin, orange-edged lips and bright markings around the tail. Mature males develop long trailing filaments from the tail lobes. It is a powerful cruising swimmer, and the single most important thing to understand about it is how much room it needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAquarium care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA big fish: adults commonly exceed 30 cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRequires a very large, long aquarium — not a species to grow out in a small tank and move later.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA grazing herbivore; dried marine algae or nori should be part of the daily routine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparatively even-tempered for a tang, though still territorial toward similar-shaped fish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeeds strong flow and stable, well-oxygenated water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt does not eat corals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuited to a large established marine system with equally robust tankmates such as bigger wrasses, angelfish and other substantial reef fish.
