I’m afraid I cannot believe that growth rate
Well, you don’t have to believe it but it’s true I couldn’t believe how fast she grew either! I think they added steroids in the pellets I feed them lol
Even my brevirostris has not grown much beyond 10” (11” if you include the schnoz).

These larger framed tangs grow quickly. My fastest is dussomieri Tang which went from 3" to 9" in a matter of 8 months. I would not feed heavy as it will have an impact on water quality. Easier/best to feed normal 4-6X per day rather than 3 heavy feedings. Vlamingi get gorgeous as they get largeMy vlamingi I’ve had for 4 weeks.
Her body looks thicker and she’s grown about 3/4 of an inch.
I do feed heavy though. Meaty foods and always algae on a clip.
When I add new tangs (or other fish aggressive to their own type), I just tape a large mirror to the side of the tank for a week or two. Keeps the old crew so busy attacking their own reflection that they pretty much ignore the newcomer so it has time to acclimate and become familiar with the ample hiding spots in the rock work.what size tank do you have and what other kinds of tangs do you have? My tangs I feel like they dont grow but thats also because I stare at them every day My purple tang is about 2.5-3 inches and I tried to add a small black eye kole tang and I walked away for about 30 mins came back and the kole's fins were destroyed. I just spent 2 hours taking apart my aquascape and trying to capture the fish. Hes only 1" so he could hide in every cave that existed in my tank
My vlamingi tang from 3 inch to 9-10 inch in 12 months . My tank guy said I am over feeding . But I can’t resist his puppy eyes looks at me and swim around me when I come close to tankVlamingi tang from 1 1/2" to 6" in 6 months.
My hippo grow from 1 inch to 3 inches in 8 months . over feeding is still the problem. I have Gfo and algae scrubber both , still have hard time control nitrate level. My corals are suffering
Sounds about rightMy vlamingi tang from 3 inch to 9-10 inch in 12 months . My tank guy said I am over feeding . But I can’t resist his puppy eyes looks at me and swim around me when I come close to tank
try 2-3 gallon water changes daily for 10-14 days and assure your not getting false test resultsMy hippo grow from 1 inch to 3 inches in 8 months . over feeding is still the problem. I have Gfo and algae scrubber both , still have hard time control nitrate level. My corals are suffering
