Reefierone..your vlamingi looks different than all the others I've ever seen. Maybe it is that particular photo...or the lighting. Mine looks just like the other photos above....

Thanks reefierone.

First photo was taken 2007/12/31 and last photo was 2008/05/17

His growth rate is so fast and look is changed too.

Now his size is 4~5 inches (not sure exact size)

I wish I had some good pictures of him as a baby, but that was before I got the good camera. Here are some as a "big" boy about half way grown. One of the best personalities I've ever had in a tank

I just love the blue lips

 

[reefierone]

yeah mine has quite the personality also!
those are some awesome photos what kind of camera are you using?

good thing you resisted temptation: Naso vlamingii grow very large very quickly. This species requires a very large aquarium with plenty of unobstructed room to swim.

 

[reefierone]

nickiwit how old is yours

 

[nickiwit]

I am not sure. I have had him a couple of years. I am the third person in my local marine aquarium society to own him. He has grown probably 4 inches since I have had him.

I have 2 6" Vlamangiis for about 2 years since they were about 2". They both eat like horses eating 3" nori squares in a matter of seconds. Does any one else's do the same? Both are very peaceful to the other fish.

Very nice pictures guys and a cool thread.

Ya mine just mowes right through nori and is very peaceful

 

[yukonblizzard]

Yeah i just figured it was because i had a pair causing them to compete for food rather than what they would eat alone.

Mine eats anything and everything in seconds. Hard to believe that yours are only 6" in 2 years. Mine has reached that size in less than 1 year.

i must agree with the eating habits and personality! nori is like cat nip to mine he knows whats coming before i even put it in the tank he sees it coming and does about six laps of the tank then eats straight out of my hand
