[jas_soh]

Need some advice as this is the first time i am keeping a tang... got a brown tang for a week or so by now and it's feedin on frozen brine shrimps, mysis shrimps, flakes and some roe (dunoe wat u call it. u find those tiny fish roes on sushi bright orange in colour) and some seaweed... heard that tangs cannot consume blood worms otherwise it might die. can any1 confirm on this?

since ur tang is feeding well.. no need to feed blood shrimp though.. worms when not eaten produce more bacteria..

[jas_soh]

uneaten worms produce more bacterias eh?? wahh.. interesting. ok...noted.

About a year ago, I tried to introduce blood worms and my beautiful yellow tang and blue tang died within 2 weeks. IMHO, i think better not. Seaweed is great though...
