Yellow belly? Idk scientific name

I don't think there is a yellow belly Naso Tang.
Either Naso lituratus (Naso Tang) or Naso elegans (Blonde Naso Tang)

You're right, I'm mixing it up with Regal tang..
Well it has the yellow dorsal fin so you would think blonde naso. But that seems too easy so I would go with the regular(lituratus)

Wrong again. Lol
 
Lol. I'm still chuckling to myself about this. It was 50/50, I took 2 guesses and still got it wrong. :face-with-rolling-eyes: smh

Which Sailfin species? Another 3.5 inches fish.

She’s gorgeous!
Probably one of the nicest specimens of Des Sailfin :)
 
I bought it as a Desjardini. I have not keep a Sailfin for 20 years but could not resist the yellow coloration in this fish. Especially the yellow tail and yellow dorsal and anal fins.
I hope his coloration will not change much.
 
I've had 2. Both has blue fins(I got them around 4.5").. the juveniles seems to have alot more yellow and look more like the regular sailfin. Maybe yours is still transitioning to adult colors? But it would be unique if it keeps the yellow
 
Nice looking fish. Naso is one of my favorite fish. Mine is not blond tho. Mine was little gal maybe 2-3" when I got her. I've had her over 7 years now. She was one of the few fish I was able to save when I had a velvet outbreak a few years back so that makes her even more special to me.
This is her
