Hi bro CFOh,

Quick question on garlic solution.

The link for Kent Marine Garlic Xtreme says "contains no artificial ingredients or steroids".

Do you think it's similar if we pound our own garlic from the market?

Thanks in advance

Hai,

I tried DIY garlic solution from wet market using juice blender machine... it works... but I am not sure any diff in term of ingredients?? Cause personally I tried many Garlic solution, I feel Ecosystem brand is the best for attract fishes appetite...

Try those dried seaweeds. 1 of the member here taught me. Works well.

Soak them in water then tear small pcs thrown in feed them.

If still dun eat try any other method using different food.

Mysis,brine,pallet etc...

Thou I know brine got not much nutrition but just feed only.

Give it a kick start. Once eat then u can intro other food to them already.

By the way your tank should have some fishes eating.

Those eating well fishes can actually lead those that dun eat to become eat...(like teaching them to eat)

i suppose you could just start with those frozen meety food such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp or henry's gourmet to get them feeding first

oooo.. west area is quite far..

no worries then,

just let me know if u're willing to drop by,

cos i go to bed very late at night everynight.. haha...

all the best to your 2 tangs,

shouldnt have to worry too much as they should accept prepared food quite readily...

in any case if they didnt make it and you decided to get another similar one,

release them in the betta box first,

get them to feed before you release them into the main tank..

that should solve the problem as intially they would not have to compete with your other tank inhabitants for food..

Try get brine shrimp from c328.. My yellow, purple and blue tanga all fed with this .. They fed only on 2nd or 3 rd day..

[mansiz]

One best way is to get red bamboo marine algae and put them in your tank. The tangs will nibble on them. Try it out if all else failed. Pasir ris farms should have red bamboos...
