I know it has only been a couple of weeks, but that baby Flagfin has turned out to be an absolute joy. He is an eating maniac, and appears to love Mysis and OSI Marine flake food. Particularly interesting is the tearing motion he uses to attack food.

He should get to 10" in no time at all !

Yeah, I saw that fish at the store - very teeny indeed... I'm thinking about 5 yrs to approach 10"...

Be interesting to see what kind of fishy character it takes on. OR whether it turns into a polyp-ravager.

I read that tangs achieve 90% of their growth the first year.

Is that true?

I'll let you know!

I seem to remember my Angels growing very quickly.

Wait a minute - you're the Tang Mom! You tell me.

Like I've mentioned before, my elongate (A. mata) went from just over an inch to just under 6 inches in 3+months. Fast enough

By the way EmilyB, it was great meeting you at OceanAquatics' meeting. Thanks for the polyps. Doing great & very beautiful. Orange, yellows, & greens. Next time your on the coast, give me a ring & I'll probably have some frags & macro for you.

I'd love to see your tank next time I'm in Calgary.

Hey Bob, how's your flagfin doing. I really like 'em but I read they were a bit touchy. I've got a queen & koran & cherub, so I guess I'm all angeled out for now, but who knows in the future......
