WTB blonde Naso
Anyone know where I can find a reasonably price blonde naso locally? Been looking for over a month with no luck. Tried to get one from the marine center (marinecenter.com) but no luck. Live Aquaria is out. Anyone help me out?

You'll pay out the arse if you go to WoF in Richfield. Even SF is kind of expensive (if they have one in stock)
You might want to see if JnS can get ahold of one for you. IIRC he has good connections with a fish wholesaler.
BTW welcome to the forum  |

I had Wet World looking for one since mid Oct and Mike said he hasn't seen any/any healthy ones. He did find me a Very nice 5"Majestic Angel a little over 2 weeks ago that is doing awesome (and for an awesome price).
I saw too pretty large Nasos at WOF, for the bargain price of $189. Twin Cities LFS prices are 9 times out of 10 are 3-4 times what you see them for online. Saw some purple firefish for $70/each last week for example

Got a 7' 200 gallon going - I have been told that this isn't big enough and should have a 600+ gallon for a naso. I am going to risk it anyways

A 7' tank is definatley doable. Many have been kept in 180s just fine. However having said that the longer the tank the better.....
I would hold out for a Naso with streamers. Really nice IMO.....

Did the Tang Police tell you that? 
I've had my Naso for a long time in a 6' 220gal and she is just fine. Your tank is 7' which is even better. I'd go for it and forget about the "I'm risking it" mentality.
