Hi dear reefers. Just went down to pasir ris farn just now and happen to have a prized AT for sale couldnt resist n bought it. Just want to ask coz currently in my tank there purple n yellow n the AT I bought is bigger than the other 2 so in order to introduce AT into the tank what measures do I have to take? Eg: some say introduce when lights are off or when feeding time do I need to add main tank water into the plastic bag that it came with so as to climatise with the water or what should I need to do? Thanks for the advises

Acclimatise it slowly by adding ur tank water into the plastic bag. Do it a few times over a course of 30mins-1hr. When going to release, off the lights. Rearrange the rocks if u can. Hope this helps.

AT is one of the most sensitive Tang.

Dear bro managed to add AT into main tank successfully but as of now nv really see him starting to eat yet but saw him a few times nibbling in the sand bed. Gave him nori sheets n managed to buy red live macro algae to feed hopimg it will eat. Any advice with regards to feeding AT?

Normally for AT, I would quarantine first before adding to main tank. If in quarantine tank, u can train it to eat almost anything becos there is no stress. In main tank where there are perceived/actual aggresssors, they might be selective in foods. From many AT experience, they love nori the best. Gd luck! Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2

And sometimes, some purple tang have "character" even if they are smaller than AT, they would retaliate aka claim territory against bigger AT........ Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2
