Yellow Tang

[spicyball]

Can anyone share with me their experience with YT..can just feed them with flakes and pellet??..are they known to attack other tankmates?

[metals99]

tangs are known to be aggresive they could attack others and is the last fish suitable to introduce last if other tank mates eg clowns damsels all inside..

they feed one pellets flakes if u lucky to find one..

they omnivores.. meaning they can take seaweeds too and veggies..

feed em' with nori.. too

[Dazza]

Yellow tangs are one of the easiest to keep & feed. My eats jst abt everything I threw into the tank. Will readily take frozen brineshrimp or mysis . Need a gd amt of green stuff toi keep it healthy... spirulina, nori, frozen veggies etc.

[yellow.tang]

i it depend on how the shop owner train them.. my YT eat only veggie & sometime brine shrimp, it dun eat pellet at all

[FuEl]

Don't feed pellets then...I never liked pellets anyway...try those dried seaweed they use to cook soup. When dried they look black...When hydrated they are purplish..my yellow tang loves them!

[flubberina13]

Hah...have you ever heard of yellow tangs eating tubeworms???

Yup...mine did?

Sometimes, wonder if he knows what he is...Eating everything that I throw in and also feeding on other fishes' waste products...Yucks!@!

Get a psychiatrist for it.

[flubberina13]

Haha...yup..it does eat algae too. red bamboo also...

Guess it has what people call...the 'jiak la sup tua' type...

And be crowned the most 'streetwise'...I meant 'foodwise' Tango!!!

Is it a Japanese YT, an epicure for scat???

[FuEl]

[Dazza]

[Dispar_Anthias]

My yellow tang just feed on hair algae

[[P]owder Blue]

brineshrimps, mysis shrimps, flakes, nori and sea lettuce should do the job ..

IMo i think i will done fine if its added last........ As your clown and damsel has already established territories in the tank thus i believe that the YT being the last fish would dare to attack your fish inside............ Hey anyway tangs are suppose to be rather ok with fish not of the same species, colour and shape so i believe that your clown and damsel will not be attack...

But in any case what i mention does not applies to every fish although most of them, as some are known to be boss of the tank even if it is added last and goes ard attacking almost every fish

[sjsheng]

Ic...

thanks alot bro for ur information

I have 1 YT with 2 X yellow-tail damsel, 2 X domino damsel, 2 X Anthias and 2 x Maroon clown. So, far no problem. Occasionally, the YT will chase some of the fishes around but no fighting. The YT eat everything that I put in the tank (pellets and Mysis). I tried feeding with Nori once but the YT freak-out! and went into hiding! (because it is black colour) Also, the YT is the largest fish in the tank.

I can't imagine how big your nori was. Did'nt you tear it up into smaller pieceS?

[darkness]

It is YT's mouth size. I think it is not used to have nori floating around in the tank...

[cheecopeh]

[FuEl]

[panlee]
