Hi,

Try Henry's Forzen food. It Works well for new commers.

Your Tangs will start to feed on pallets food, as it feels comfortable with the surrondings. However, this may takes weeks.

Try those pallets food that allows you to stick to the wall.

:P My Yellow Tang was not eating for almost 4 days until I start feeding it with Marine Veggies...& now this hero goes after pellets, cyclopeeze, sinking food & frozen mysis.

My Sohal Tang was even more finicky as it was ignoring veggies or pellets even if I dosed with garlic...until I throw in guess what ?... :angel: sinking food for bottom feeders !

I learnt that it was very fussy with the size of food & I thought he has a rather 'huge lips'...which should go for bite size food. I was amused when I saw it stuffing the grainy tidbits.

:idea: The secret of my success...try different variety of food & most important be PATIENT !
