Hahaha! I have no idea man. There are still some algae around the tank but not a lot left.

I did see him eyeing my other fishes during feeding time. Noticed that he watch them scoot around for food and he was scooting around too. But those time he was scooting aimlessly and did not eat any pellets.

Guess he finally learned how tasty those tiny dots are.

Sadly it past away.. Dunno why.. No white spot.. Sudden death.. But I feel maybe my 6-line keep attack it.. I have sold away the 6-line.. I getting another YT soon.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
bro just to share with you I reef by one principle if it does not eat don't buy..than again if you think you can make it feed by all means you get it.. My YT who my Mom named Kiko is now 7years old he never ate anything for 4weeks only grazing on algae in the tank but after awhile it ate now he has transformed into a pig :) tangs will become accustom to your food... tangs are easy to get feeding maybe hard also are those species like PBT,Blue tangs etc..complete different story if get one that is not healthy at all Very sorry for your loss Cheers!

Paris ris can ask the staff lah, usually they are pretty honest. But i can tell you their usual answers... ah beng no, ng couple no, iwarana depends, pinnacle depends, TFC depends...

Norm is that if the shipment just arrived the answer is no loh. But i rather buy fish fresh from shipments than let them stays in LFS... dont want the fish to settle down twice ah

子非鱼,焉知鱼之乐... (you are not the fish so you...)

Then: my 4FT low tech selling off tank... (2006)

Now: (2014)

Hey! I just bought a yellow tang 4 inch from some good bro. Instantly eating pellet. I think higher chance to survive if bought from captive (as in people that selling their own yt away)

It's best that you try feeding pellets at the shop before buying.. Yellow tang are fussy eaters at the beginning.. Red bamboo agale for starters and frozen brine shrimps will do the trick..

185 Gallons - 5ft tank since nov 2013

When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain

Wouldn't it have a higher chance of survival if it's been accustomed to life in a tank and feeding on pellets rather than what's there in the wild?
