The Vlamingi Tang (Naso vlamingii) is sometimes called a Vlamings Unicornfish or a Bignose Unicornfish. It belongs to the family named Acanthuridae. Typically reaching a max size of about 24.0 inches in length, the Vlamingi Tang is generally passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Naso vlamingii should not be housed in a tank less than 180 gallons in sizeand in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area.
