Gill Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Just wondering what everyone feeds their tangs. Mine get spirulina flakes and frozen (mysids shrimp, brine shrimp and plankton) Mine won't eat nori? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBirkett Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 tangs Your tangs are spoiled, and would be better off not eating the food your feeding them other than the spirolina. Tangs are vegi eaters in the wild. Put nori on a clip and don't feed them anything else and they will figure the nori out as a food source. I have seven different tangs and they fight each other to get as much as they can eat. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoralCrazy Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Mine gets nori on a clip and flake in the morning. And steals a couple pieces of shrimp when I feed the tank mates at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 nori 1-2 times a day. mysid / brine every other day with garlic, occasionally i feed pods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coralreefer Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Gill--you are doing fine...as long as they consistently get roughage (spirulina) they will do fine...a little mysid etc will keep things interesting...they can have digestive problems if they don't get enough veggies...if they consistently eat like pigs then they aren't having issues...they look plenty healthy...

gradth Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 have 4 tangs, all are pigs. Nori about once a day. Combination of pellets, frozen mysis and brine with garlic soaked in, and some homemade food that I make that is a combo of all kinds of stuff including vedgies frozen into cubes. Rotate the food every other day or so. They eat everything I put in the tank. They have to compete with my bluethroats who also eat everything.

kilmca Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Nori, flake, mysis, brine and rod's food is what i'm currently feeding my tangs and other fish. They all seem to love it. I recommend that you continue to add nori at least once a week caues they might start eating it. Once they start eating it you could add it at least a couple times a week.

Michael7979 Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 Mine will eat anything I feed the tank. (but my Tomini like your Kole will not pick the Nori off the clip. It will eat the ripped off pieces that end up floating thruout the tank thou) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
