Sailfin Tang Grow Rate

piranhaman00 · Apr 9, 2020

Hi everyone!

I wanted to show a progression shot of Gustolv, the Sailfin Tang. He was so tiny when I got him! This is three months!

I can’t imagine he is very old when I first got him, any ideas tang early growth rate?

He is the boss of a 180 but the lieutenant tang he is with is growing super fast as well so we shall see who reigns leader, still some scuffling going on.

What’s your diet for him? Mine is growing but doesn’t have the nice color of yours. I feed marine cuisine, brine, mysis, and seaweed.

Yes I cannot believe how fast he is growing. Im really curious as to his age, I cannot imagine him being very old when I got him, I still cant believe how tiny he was lol

I feed hikari mega marine and hikari mysis shrimp frozen. I soak foods in selcon before feeding but that has been only recent. I dont feed seawood at all actually. I also fed flakes for a while but when I do my vermentid snail population explodes so I stopped.
