That is the best size to get as the adults mostly simply refuse to eat.

Naso tangs require brown algae as part of their feeding.

If you soak some in garlic, or selcon, or water use a powerhead to move the soaked brown algae around.

Continue trying a variety of different foods with the hope that he latches on to something he likes.

You mentioned that he is getting skinny. If you can get an eyedropper full of selcon near her, squirt her so she gets a mouthful.

Was she eating when you bought her. Is it possible she is suffering from a parasite?
