Hi Hwdq,

You can feed them with veg., pallect, brine shrimp .... I have two blue tang, all are fat fat one...

Bones? How much do you feed your blue tang? Feed them more nori strips (seaweeds), they grow fatter with seaweeds. Don't keep feeding pellets. Must have variety of food.

after monitoring for 2days..

todae i fed them with pellets..

PBrT seems to be eatting pellets only (but still a little bit only, not even 10bits)

however when i fed it with mysis or brine ..

it will juz bite and spit it out .. (kinda bite outta coursity)

i target feed it summore..

how is it doing?

a variety of food will be great to fatten the tang.

just to share my experience, the easiest way to fatten up a tang is to feed them with pellets.

for a period of time, i just feed them brine and mysis but my tang could not grow fat until i feed them constantly with pellets.

this is my own experience to share.
