Question when do you call a Naso Tang a BLONDE?

Is there any clear definition of "blonde" Naso Tang, as oppose to "regular" Naso Tang? (like if the blonde forehead area pass the eye line)

Is the Naso in the attached picture a "blonde"?

thanks,

Jason

For some reason I cant see the pic but a blond naso is the type that the yellow runns from the head all the way down to the tail.

Hey Seafan,

A regular Naso has a black dorsal fin running all the way down to the tail. Commonly from Hawaii.

The blonds have a yellow dorsal - and are from the indian ocean/red sea.

It has nothing to do with the blond head on both fish. You have a Hawaiian - looks good too!

Blonde naso tang? you mean, like, when one blonde naso tang says to the other "Hey! Look! a dead bird!"
and the other blonde naso tang looks up in the skay and says "Where?"

that kind of blonde naso tang? cuz that's a tricky question.

Yes that kind. The hard part is getting them to take an iq test.

I love those nasos! Their face has so much personality.

One day, I'll have a tank big enough for one.

Beautiful fish!
