Hummmm, I bought a naso tang and an emperor angel from the same store about five months ago. I feed lots of mysis, pellets, nori and cyclopeeze every day. Both fish eat lots and I have good water quality, however since I bought them my emperor went from two inches to about 3 1/2", and the naso has gone from two inches to almost three. So far my Naso tang who is very heathly does not seem to be growing as fast as others suggested he should be, any ideas why?

Mine eat Nori like cows eat grass. The elegans alone eats about 1/2 sheet (about 8" x 6"?) of Nori every day and will swallow a 1" square piece in a single mouthful. He's maybe 7" at this point.

His name is "Moe"...partly because of how he eats. Also, a similarity to cows at the other end of things as well....
