Mini Naso

[Averhoeven]

As far as I know, there are no dwarf nasos. However, our little girl (we assume, no streamers) is small and has stayed small. It makes her real cute though and her eyes seem slightly disproportionately large. We've had her about 18 months (180g) and adopted her from someone else who had her about 2 years (250g), so she should be full grown by now. If I had to guess her size, I'd put her around 5". Anybody else have any "big" fish that have stayed small?

**Sorry for the white balance and yes, I gave up on the sand in the middle of the tank a long time ago.

Dwarfism isn't uncommon in the wild. Other factors would be how it was fed before, but unlikely why it is smaller. Females are smaller than males.

Not a “large fish” per se, but I have a 1 year old maroon clown that is still the size of my thumbnail.
