How can you tell if the Blonde Naso is male or female?

What are all the spots all over that Naso? Is he ok?

The males have streamers off their tales. They also have a longer face than the females, aswell, slightly darker in color

Bad News. Spotty didnt make it.

I came home last night and looked in my tank and he was Upside down. in some rocks. i moved the rock and grabbed him and he was still alive.

when i let him swim, he could not swim straight, he kept going in circles, and upside down, and eventually would fall to the sand and stay on his side. I feel so bad for the little guy.

now to see if i can get him replaced from the LFS, which shouldnt be a problem.

Oh man thats really too bad. Im sorry for your loss.

What do you think happened? Just maybe the stress of it all?

not too sure.. he wasnt in great condition when we picked him up. we figured he might take well to our tank, and he did at first, there were no problems or hassels from any of the other fish. but i guess he was too far gone and went belly up. litteraly.

it sucks because he was a gorgeous fish, minus the scratches.

Ah gee...I was hoping mine would develop those streamers as "He" got older. Maybe not. Might need a new name too.
