yellow tang

you can use the dried stuff that you can buy in the supermarket or in chinatown. i dont keep any tangs anymore, but when i did that is what i would buy. its about 1/4 the price of nori for the aquarium trade.

yes but dont over feed on the flakes and mysis, just enough for it to be eaten with in a minute or so.

ok got it.
thanx to all of you for helping me out.

just go easy on the feeding. you dont need to fatten the fish up in a week. as long as it is eating a good and varied diet it will gain weight over time. trying to do it quickly will just foul your water.

i have a question on how you put your nori in the tank. my tang is scared of the clip . how do you reccomend putting it in the tank.

rubber band and a rock. just cris-cross its. i should get used to the clip eventually.

 

[jrobbins]

just put it in the clip and leave it. the fish will get used to it. you can also rubberband it to a rock. kinda more natural but then you have to fish out the rock from the bottom of the tank every day.

my clips always broke, so I would use my magfloat (magnetic cleaning widget) and put the seaweed between the glass and the inside cleany-thing and the outside one opposite that - the fish were used to the magfloat thingy, so no worries.

I tried the rock, but having to fish it out got old really fast.

i agree my clip actually just broke. but i do keep the mag float in the tank so i tried it..... we shall see what happens.

i think the salt water wears it out, i take mine out of the water once they've eaten. im gong to try somthing new with plastic netting (like the kind used to hold garlic together) and a rock because the biggest issue i have is that when they break off more then they can chew they ignore it. so my hope is the netting will assure that the pieces they pluck off are small enough to eat. i dont really mind fishng it out of the tank.

ye i hate fishing out the rock. the clip works for me.
