organic vege(I like to use 奶白）, seaweed, spectrum life pellet, hikaru pillets.

But for new fish, takes a while. Red bamboo also good.

try CF for red bamboo algae..

or you can try LCK201 for live mysis.. will stimulate fish appetite better..

BTW, which Tang your having? try mix some Garlic supplement will also help improve fish appetite.

Check your water parameters such as nitrate or other tnags fish which cause it to stress out. If its parameters then do wc 10% every 2 days to slowly improve the water condition

Seachem galic guard work well for me btw a healthy tang would normally eat after a few days
