NICE FISH !

I have something similar started @ 1",  but after 6 months they have only grown about 1/4 inch....geez !

I'll be dead and burried before they get to this size...

thanks. That's the reason I wanted a bigger pair....Tangs in general grow too slow for me.

I bought some at about an inch and a half and it took about 3 years to get them to the 3.5" mark. Gotta be patient...but they're worth it. I'll get some pics of my Gold Head Muzis and Mwela Orange comps...but they're small (an inch or so in size) so not much to see yet.

Damn Josh, that is an awesome looking fish.  Is he breeding or just a show fish ?

All three are gorgeous fish guys 8). One of these days I hope to set up a tank with some myself hopefully.

They are showing dominance now... and possibly even pairing up.  Recently seeing some of them sharing a shell.
