Blonde Naso Tang

[acce]

Hi,

Need advise from experts. I've bought a ###### naso from R**n for a week and it's not feeding, getting skinner.

How???? Tried feeding with Spirulina, formulae two pellet, lettuce, brine shrimp, mysis shrimp. But nothing seems to help.

The rest of my tangs are eating well.

Other tangs include yellow tang, blue tang, powerblue, sobas, salifin & normal naso.

Am really at a lost now.

What can i do to make it eat???

Try buying some ulva and dump them into the tank...watch your tank from far...it might feel nervous with someone looking at it...

When it is hungry enough it should eat.

Thanks fuel will go & get it.

With so many other tangs around, it is probably stressed out.

Newcomer tangs will always get harassed... to the point of not being able to relax and eat... and die of starvation.

How big your tank, btw?

If your tank is just a FO tank, maybe u can try switching off the light for a few days to minimal the stressfulness of the fish. Also, tank's size is impt as yr tank is housing so many tangs

try cutting nori into bite size (for the tang not u ) pieces. really tiny pieces.

mine Naso also not eating....but i give it red bamboo macroaglae....start eating them little by little

eh!!!! my tank is oni 3 x 2 x 2.5 abt 100 gallons, with some soft corals, it's running on 2 cannister.

Just gotten the ulva (i think), the other smaller naso seems to love it . The ###### ate a little.

My ###### naso is the biggest in size as compared to the rest of the tangs and yet seems so restless.

Will monitor the fish and hope it starts feeding.

Tks for all your advise.

Heh...the magical ulva. It can speak to tangs...'eat me..eat me!'
