[big_ben102000]

i juz got a powder brown yesterday, it was fine went i got it. yesterday night i see white spots all over, but it disappeared in the day and now its back.. it hasnt eat the pellets, brine shrimp or blood worms i throw into the tank, however it was pecking on the LR..

wat are the odds of the tang surviving ? will it take green grape algae ?

plz advice

thanks !

is the PBT feeding on the pellets u feed it?...if yes...u can give the seaweed a miss...

those normal seaweeds they sell in markets will do...

[big_ben102000]

nah not feeding... the normal market ones .. cause i am quite blur lar ... scared buy the wrong one .. any mirco algae ? like red bamboo ? green grape ?

Try cut the seaweed into small pieces that fits their mount, then soak it in garlic jiuce and, if you have, dried cyclopeze. I tried before and they like the smell and started to eat.

Else it doesn't look good.

okies i got some red bamboo ! the uncle at T95 feeds them with it so yes gonna give it a try hopes it takes it if not gotta try the methods u guys have suggested

hey bro where u get the dried cyclopeze ? around how much it cost ? my pbt only feeds on the red bamboo aglae.. it still doesnt take the pellets i am feeding. its been 1 week already. its belly is full though but it still cant fight off the white spots

[m203]

try soaking the red bamboo with garlic guard might help.......

[big_ben102000]

WA ... thats pretty hard core leh .. but i will do that i guess... the brown colour of the tang is kinda fading lar.. sadded..

oh ya it is also feeding on brine shrimps now
