Need help on feeding

[TTBoy]

I just got a gold-rim tang recently and it does not seem to like the food i feed it. I usually dump in brine shrimps and mysis. It just put the food in its mouth and spit it out. What type of food does it eat? Thanks!

You can try feeding it marco marine algae like culepera. You can also try lettuce although never try this before personally.

It is important to get it to eat.

Do you have plenty of LR for it to graze on?

Tang and Surgeonfish are mostly herbivorous and require plenty of green to stay healty.

How long have you got it for? It might take a few days for it to settle down. Seaweed is a good start as they have suggested. You can try spirulina pellets or flakes. It is not necessary to get the whole can, if your LFS has an opened one, just ask for a bit to test if your fish eats it.

Thanks guys. BTW, how do u get the good algea to grow on the LR?

Good algae? Caulerpa?

Just put them in and give good light. The fish in the tank will give it nutrients. They will grow if no one eats them.
