tiny tang...

[colinsoon]

i juz got a tiny BT, it doesnt seem to like cyclopeeze... it will taste it then spit it out... what else will they eat?

[damienkee]

wah! u never study 1st b4 get it?

ok... some will consume macro algae, but not all.

BT is more to "meaty" food like brine shrimp etc etc.

juz my 2cent...

all the best!!!

blue tangs are one of the few planktivorous tangs, so it will do best on a diet of frozen mysid shrimps and brine shrimps. for algae supplementation, it should get enough from within the tank's liverocks, etc.

still new in the tank la.

i fed my 1inch BT whatever i had ... cyclopeeze, formula 1 & 2, frozen mysis... initially only take mysis, but after 2-3 days seeing the other greedy buggers whack the other foods, the BT also start whacking... now the greediest in the tank.

colinsoon,

get brine shrimps, they're smaller than mysis shrimps. cyclopeeze supposingly is good stuff, maybe ur baby hasn't grown used to luxury food yet.

POst us a pic of it please. I love BT.

I also got a small BT lately. Since day 1 it has been eating Formula 2 and some dried flakes. Occasionally I feed them mysis shrimps and they love it! Although my sailfin and brown tangs love dried seaweed, this newcomer doesn't seem to bother.

Haha, give it some time....my BT doesn seems to like seaweed too, will just occasionally take a nip at them. Feeds readily on red bamboo algae though....
