Have you tried ON seaweed 1, 2, 3?

Frozen brine shrimp? Frozen mysis? Market prawn market fish meat?

I tried the green marine alage seaweed which has a yellow tang pic.. No interests to him..

He ignore all shrimp and pallet too.. No idea why..

Try live food 1st, like brine shrimp, mysis & pods. You can try LCK201 for live pods & mysis. After that slowly move to frozen food & algae.

Cheers and Happy Reefing..

Try to stand down your lights these few days.

Maybe it is still trying to build confidence ..

Few days no problem. But if more than a week you shall start praying liao. Btw, how many fishes do you have? If quite a few, you might want to expand your collection of pallets/ seaweed...

try red bamboo i have a blonde naso who didnt eat anything but after i introduce red bamboo he eats everything now even pellet. if still wont work try dried seaweed again but this time deep it in garlic solution.

Red bamboo Algae work for me. They also eat pellet

Maybe isolate the fish and put all sorts of food inside? He will try eat something when he has nothing to do

[Sherilyn91]

Ok sure.. Thanks for all the advice..

My yellow tang has been in mine for 3 plus weeks. Have been pecking on all my LR and sandbed since the first day.

Till today still not eating my pellets but has since grew bigger and fatter.

Guess the natural food makes him more hungry

[Sherilyn91]

Ooh.. Haha

Just got mine about two weeks back. Initially only focused on nibbing algae and stuff off the rocks, wasnt interested in the seaweed i out on the clip. But soon after most of the algae on the rocks are depleted it started on the seaweed. It only started eating frozen food after observing my other fish eat frozen food. Guess it takes time, naturally they will understand that the seaweed you out inside is food

[Sherilyn91]

Ooh i will try!

Mine used to feed immediately with henry reef gourmet. Works like charm.

Pity that tank crashed and they all perished

[Sherilyn91]

Sorry to hear that bro..

Guess what? I fed my fishes this morning and Yellow Tang was feeding nonstop on the pellets. First time seeing him chasing after those sinking pellets. Super cute.

[Sherilyn91]

Cool.. Haha.. Congrats!

Haha! He even tried to squeeze into the feeding tube which was obviously too small for him.

Now all my fishes fat fat. Whoohoo!
