How fast/big does your Achilles grow?

[Ostri]

My other tangs have grown significantly over the course of one year but I don't really notice my Achilles (adult, 4.5") growing. I wish it can grow to about 6 - 6.5". Is it because they don't grow much in captivity?

Mine came in pretty small, maybe 3". He grew to maybe 5" in a year, then slowed down. This was in a 210 gallon.

Mine hasn't grow all that much. Started out at about 4"; now 5 1/2" three years later.

Mine doesn't grow all that fast but all you can do is feed, decrease aggression and add flow. I've had mine for maybe 3 years thought 3-4 tank moves along with a powder blue and other tangs. In the future I will start taking a pic w a ruler and fish in my hand since it's so hard to figure out . Currently they are in a 300
