hi guys...

are they pecking on ur LR??? if not is they any algae for them to peck at. make sure that there is ample hiding places for them plus some algae. suprisingly i have read that the dreadful hair algae is one of their favourite foods.

Hi guys,

maybe u can try this, as wat my friends n i been doing for all the tangs.

go n get bamboo tt's red in colour n it looks like appettizer for them.

if tt does'nt wrk try to bring down ur nitrate level cause if high not good for a new fish.

goodluck.

My yellow tang refused to feed for the 1st week when i first got it. Nearly lost it but now its the most agressive fish in my tang, developing a fat fat tummy. What i do for newly acquired tangs is to buy a bunch of red grape algae/red bamboo algae to entice them to feed. In my experience they prefer the grape kind. You might want to try Henry's food as well. LBS are worth a try, otherwise simply soaking your food in garlic juice before feeding might work too.

Qxnviolet bro, I've seen green grape algae, but not red type...can tell me where to purchase them?

Erm, im not sure if they are really called red grape algae. They are exactly the same colour as the red bamboo algae. looks totally different from the green ones. The red "grapes" are pretty small. Will try and find a pic and let you see. Reborn normally have them...

Yes bro, would love to see the picture too.

So far, I have tried 5 tangs but all unsuccessful.

RIP.

But I wont give up, it's too beautiful.

personally in my own exp,

Its take time to acclm fishes and make sure that they are feeding in QT before heading into the main tank.
