How do all the senior here train tangs to munch on seaweed (Nori).

I have them in iso acrylic box, but they still wont munch on them. (using TLF seaweed clip)

Do i really have to starve them and have them eventually eat seaweed (nori)

Try to refrain feeding mysis & pellets for awhile, just put nori on the clip? It might also help to break up abit of nori in small bits, fish tend to nip at small bits floating in the current

Steps to train your tang to munch on seaweeds:-

  • Knock on your tank glass to attract the tang attention
  • Bring out a piece of seaweed when the tang is looking at you
  • Put the seaweed in your mouth and munch it...
  • The tang will see and learn ...
    :yahoo:

 

Just kidding .....

Once the tang is happy in the tank; they will eat anything you throw in including the seaweed.
Your tang is not eating seaweed now; coz it is unhappy or stressed out.

i dont train my tangs also but whenever i feed using a clip

it takes one nip to launch the whole tank into a feeding frenzy and i do alternate between feeding pellets, frozen foods (mysis, brine) and seaweed

i have a mixture of clowns, chromis, coral beauty and 3 tangs (blue, yellow and sailfin)
