chuck_D Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 hello mates. i have a small yellow tang. i bought it 2 days ago. its abt 2 inches in size. that fella doesnt seems to eat . Blue tang, true percula eats alot.. but not the YT. any idea what does it eat? or maybe its because it is still shy ? i feed all my fishes flake food. will YT eat flake?

SRC Member cornyfish Posted October 3, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted October 3, 2005 Yellow tangs should be fed algae and lettuce, not flake food... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member akahoshi Posted October 3, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted October 3, 2005 few ways to get your YT to eat.. - Buy grape algae or red bamboo algae for it to gaze on. - Try live brine shrimp (Note that this cannot be its permanent diet as low in protein). - Try nori (Dried Seaweed used for sushi). - Try cyclopeeze. - Try frozen mysis and brine shrimp. You can try also soaking your food in garlic juice. It has been known to enhance the smell of the food and entice fishes to eat. Keep us updated. All the best with your YT.

SRC Member akahoshi Posted October 3, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted October 3, 2005 Oh yeah.. Henry's food.. Heard that it is really good. Haven't personally tried it as I live at the other end of singapore, so hard to travel down.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member riot Posted October 3, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted October 3, 2005 Mine eats flake food but not pellets. They will eat frozen readily so you might want to stock up on that just to tide the YT over temporaily then slowly introduce other foods.
