SRC Member XPeriment 626 Posted July 22, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 22, 2005 suggest you get roasted seaweed for them. can be found in NTUC. make sure you look for the type WITHOUT ANY SEASONING. tangs need a lot of green fibre in their diet, otherwise they will be prone to disease such as HLLE.

I oso hv some tangs in my tank (yt, kole, & 3 sml blues) . Besides mysis, brine shrimps & ocean nutrition formaula 1 & 2, I keep the red bamboo type of algae that u find selling at lfs for 5 bucks or so. My tangs esp love it. At their own leisure, they'll just pick n eat the plant. A typical piece on a rock last abt 3 mths for me.

Actually, I think that if your five tangs love it, the algae on that one rock ($5) wouldn't last 3 months. Sounds more like they don't really like it but also don't have much other choice if they want to get more vegetation in their diet. Suggest you try using dried/roasted nori. You'll be surprised just how much tangs will eat. Quote Be teachable always, nobody has a monopoly on wisdom. But learn to distinguish "fact" from "opinion".

SRC Member ckkoon Posted July 25, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 25, 2005 My tangs eat lettuce and even the leafy parts of the "cai xin". You can try them too but make sure you wash them clean of insecticide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get most of the daily requirement from mysis n ocean nutrition formulas. The suggestion is just so u get teh attractive red algae and minimal work. And if juding from how fast they eat = what they like, then mysis wud be their fav food cos they whacked frozen as well as live mysis faster than my other fishes .

silver_tang Posted July 25, 2005 Author Share Posted July 25, 2005 I am thinking of defrozen henry special food. Then i buy nori seweed soak them with garlic guard + Cyclopeeze and add them to henry special food and feed my tangs. I think this will save more trouble. Wad do u guys think?
