hi guys/pals...

i had my kole tang for almost reaching the 2nd week and it is still not into feeding mood...i tried cylopzee and it failed this time round...it is still as active as before coming out peaking on the LR's but it is getting slimmer then before..how should i get it to feed....

apperciate for all the advice given..

not really i just got it the next day when shippment reached his place.

Look like henry source is good, try flooding brine and mysis, mine eat fed with nori

me in tank for 5 weeks liao....also brought from same place and not eating.....but its actively picking on my LR and tank wall for algae....its getting fatter every day though..give it time, as long as they are not growing thinner, they will eventually feed.....

me also just got a kole tang from henry. it's mainly pecking on LR. tried to train him to eat pellets. no luck. looking paler as the day goes by. all my other tangs n other fishes charge for pellets during each feeding. guess have to try frozen brine/mysis next.

Try Ocean Nutrition green marine algae soaked with plenty garlic juice. Mine enjoys very much............

try frozen tiny pieces of food including cyclopeeze soaked with garlic.

if it eats then the ich will be gone in days.

best if u can get henry frozen food mix.

[giantbicycle]

yea., i asked him,but he said it will be only ready on tuesday, no more stocks.. still cant feed

[pegasus1010]

then try buying frozen mysis (brand mbf). soak it with garlic, then when it is fully thawed, crash it to more tiny pieces & pour the whole thing to the tank. observe if the kole feed on it.

dis the mysis (red packing) i got to feed my fishes..

[giantbicycle]

[pegasus1010]
