Anyone have long term success with Powder Blue tang? Pics Ad

I have tried the spirulina, and he will not eat that yet. I did attach some Green marine algae by ocean nutrition, and he did pick at that for awhile. When I feed the various flake he gets over there as the final pieces are being finished off. So then I add more and he swims off. I may have over fed the tank the past couple of days, but it's okay. I am doing a 20 gallon change tomorrow.


He still is tearing the caluepra up. It seems to be his favorite. Is there much nutrition in that? Seems all natural, so I would say yes.

Well guys tomorrow will be 2 weeks with the PBT. He still only likes to eat Caluepra. He wont touch the spirela or the formula 2 stuff. He is eating, picking at rocks and loves the real stuff. Is there any other natural food you guys can think of he might like. The sea weed stuff seems to be on the dislike list as well.

I am assuming since he is more thatn likely wild caught that he only likes natural stuff.

Have you tried Nori or Dulse yet?

He can probably sustain on the caulerpa, if there is enough quantity.

My sohal wouldn't eat anything except cheato and nori for the first month I had him. Now eats eats pretty much anything. The key is providing the fish something to sustain him until he adapts. If you can keep him alive, he'll eventually adapt IMO.

Try zucchini and romaine too. Now that I think about it, my sohal warmed up to those to after only a few weeks.

I just wanted to give an update on my PBT. it has been a little over a month now(by no means long term), and all is well. Today for the first time he ate something besides caluepra. He ate some formula 2. I thought it was a fluke(not a big flounder), but a random thing :lol:. So i just fed him again, and he got his fair share.. Phew!!


I am much happier now.


Also I just finally got an RO/DI unit today, and tested my tap water with TDS, it was 156, and tested the RO water after about 10 minutes or so of running and got 0000.. AWESOME!!!


I also checked the glacier water I have been buying at the grocier stores for .30 cents a gallon and got .18.. OUCH!! I finally figured out why my glass has needed to be cleaned daily(DOH).


I will have a new camera soon so i will post some real pics of my tank.
