Colouration of Tangs

[DUCADOS]

Understand n seen some reefer having bright strong colour for their yellow n purple tang.

Can share how u guys achieve that?

Use to have a skinny tang but now both my yellow n purple tang r fat.

Will like to concentrate on their colour liao

good water perimeters and feed alot of vegetation like red bamboo, nori, grape algae etc.

colour loss can be either stress, nutrition deficiency, poor water quality (stray electricity, high NO3, low salinity) etc.

MOST COMMONLY lack of nutrition and poor water quality.

fix this two and ur tangs should colour up.

do away the brine shrimp, they are empty shells food.

go for Danichi's pellet food. have got 2 kind, one for vege eater and the other is normal. Reef depot carries it.

or go for Faunamarin's color based food pellet.

invest in a chiller, i never look back.

i go for both. Reef depot carries Danichi.

Whereas iwarna got the faunamarin. iwarna might have danichi but i can be wrong. call them to check.

perhaps people dun really look in to researching. brine shrimp are like snacks for most of us. i still use brine shrimp as well, but only use it to get some fish to start eating.

for some reason, brine shrimp gets a fish to start eating sooner compared to mysis in my experience.

still, if you want nice color on fish, get a chiller and proper lightings. lighting do play a part as well, needs to experience it.

all the best.
