How big is your Zebrasoma flavens?

My tank has:
4 Zebrasoma flavescens (Yellow)
2 Paracanthurus hepatus (Blue Hippos)
1 Zebrasoma desjardinii (Desjardinii)
1 Zebrasoma veliferum (Sailfin)
1 Zebrasoma xanthurum (Purple)
With the exception of one Hippo bought at MASNA in Atlanta they were all purchased when they were 1.5-2.5" long. It seems like they're all continuing to grow except the Yellows which seemed to stop growing at sizes around 3.5-4".
They Hippos are approaching 6", they Purple was the most recent purchase and he's already bigger than the Yellows, and the Desjardinii is bigger than 7".
Have the Yellows hit their max. size or am I depriving them of something the other Zebrasomas don't need?

You don't mention your tank size, but I can tell you that Yellows will get bigger than 4". Mine is at least 6" in a 240g.

I have had my yellow for 2 years, and it has been at about 4.5 " for a year now, he is fat and healthy, just not growing very fast.
