look at it again really seems very big... the stomach like pregnant man... fat fat... everyday also eat untill like that of course grow fast... think I should control it's food... you think if I introduce the yellow tang and ctenochaetus tang into the main tank they will get whacked by the Blue tang?? size difference is very great... blue tang around 5 inch they only 2.5 inch.

[ryz]

bro ur bristle tooth also eating pallets? mine kole still doesnt take my food

bro is yours pecking at LR and stuff?? Check if it's mouth is damaged... once damaged it is almost certainly doomed...

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

notice bristletooth always have mouth problem liao....

[ryz]

I haven't checked whether mine has mouth problem... scared leh... but if it's pecking at the glass and all the mouth should be ok right?? AP you got any bristle-tooths? mouth damaged?? how to coax it to eat pellets and mysis?? or is it a strict vegetarian?

no....I don't have bristletooth at the moment but use to have problem with them once their mouth get damaged by either dashing into LR too fast or sometimes being picked on by other fish in the tank.

Normally the bristletooth I've kept before will copy what the others are doing when pellet food is thrown in because they are quite use to feeding on algae alone and difficult to feed them on just pellet only. They will take in live brine shrimp also because too tempting to resist......

[ryz]

I see... I hope everything goes well with mine man.. is the mouth damage very obvious or is it hard to see sometimes? I worry it might not eat.

bristletooth's mouth is very clearly visible once it's damaged and the infection starts to eat over the mouth area if not treated quickly and the fish goes around with a gaping open mouth thats unable to feed. If there is no sign of damage should be ok......

[ryz]

oh then I think mine is ok.. thanks for the info!

[ryz]

Released the two tangs into the main tank today.. after keeping them overnight in the refugium.. Yellow tang already fighting with BT for pellets... the bristle tooth keep pecking here and there... dunnow what to feed. should I get red bamboo to feed them or maiden's hair algae(turtle whip??)?? what do you ppl feed your bristle-tooths?

bro i realised my bristle tooth only take what is on the LR.... it wont take anyting floating...... so what i did was stuff nori in between the LR and let it graze.....

i want pics!!!!

[ryz]

patience little one... hahahhaha

dunno whether mine is ctenochaetus binotatus or striatus... quite shy now hard to take pics... You kole take thenori inbetween the LR?? think best is to buy red bamboo or some other macroalgae let it graze you wanna get?

BTW got the hammer from Glare already and he gave me a free staghorn frag... place it high up and hope I can see growth... just trying a frag of SPS...

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

bro.Raymond.....maybe stick the nori between the LR....since the bristle tooth still shy to come out liao....once it gets the taste by accidentally grazing upon it.
