Hi Bro,

The key is frequent small feeds.

If you are not always at home, you can get a auto-feeder to feed small portions of pellets.

At when you are home, you can continue with Henry's food.

But bear in mind that frequent feeding = increase waste production. Make sure your skimmer is able to cope. ;)

:o be careful...pui pui = more wastes = high NO4 = high PO4 = :evil::nuke: ???

I rather feed discriminately once or twice a day at least...as long as the fish is eating, then no problem.

Cheers... :peace:

Dear Jem

I have a yellow, purple and brown tang, all puipui...

basically, I feed them with those red algae (look very much like grapes) once a month and I can tell u they really love it! pecking at it non-stop! even when the grapes are finished, they peck on the stem!

For the other fishes and on a normal day, i feed them with Kent Marine and Formula 1& 2 pellets twice a day. the greedy tangs chiong for the pellets too... :lol:

IMO, tangs are very greedy and i believe they are the easiest fish to be puipui... :D

Question is.. How do you make a skinny powder brown became pui pui when it is housed wif a super fat BT and PBT? Any food that enters the tank will go straight into the BT and PBT mouth! The powder brown not fast enough..

So how to do make the powder brown fat w/o taking out the BT and PBT?

Ps. - This is just a scenerio.. This is not happening in my tank.
