tang growth
how do you get your fish to achieve a good size? i bought several juvanile tangs 1 1/2 yrs ago and they still look pretty much the same. i was talking to someone at a lfs, and she said another client bought an orange shoulder the same time that i bought mine, she says his has completely changed to his adult colors and is at least three times as big as mine. what do i need to do? any suggestions?
thanks |

it is a 125 gallon set-up. i have a purple tang(good growth), orange shoulder tang, lieutenant tang, and a naso tang. i do a 35 gallon water change once a week (well....sometimes every two weeks
 ). i feed once a day, maybe twice or more if i am off work or someone else in the house does it. they get a sheet of algea twice a week. frozen when i think about it. tetra marine flake and ocean nutrition pellet are their staple diet. i just told someone last night that i was going to get them some steroids....ORA HERE I COME ...HA

I feed my 3 tangs frozen once a day and twice daily feedings of nori. You should be stuffing them full of nori. Thats what they eat in the wild so why limit them in your tank.

With 4 tangs in a 125gal tank, its normal for their growth to stun.

I feed my tangs a different food everyday, ( I only feed one type)They are Formula 1,& 2, and missis shrimp. I also hang a 3 inch piece of algae on the clip every other day. they will grow it just takes lots of time
