[Oiseau Reefer]

Ya,a link woudl be cool.

I dont know if I would even want to put an orange in my tank,I used to feed my Koi oranges,but never my SW tangs.

I would hesitate to add anything not normally ingested by the livestock. My tangs get all their nutrition from their "regular" diet.

sounds legit, I wouldnt see a problem with it. expensive though

Never heard of feeding them to any saltwater fish but we use to feed them to goldfish everyday at the store I worked at yrs ago

Well..vitamin c is made as a supplement for fish so I wouldn't think that an orange would be a big difference.

....they don't call them "tangs" for nothing.......

nobody remembers TANG?????

Yeah, me neither.

I remember tang, as a matter of fact, I was about to suggest just adding some tang mix to the tank haha. (only kidding!)

The only problem I would foresee with this is the amount of citric acid will more than likely lower your PH levels. Make sure your alk is nice and high if you do decide to try and measure ph afterward.

Where the heck are you getting your oranges? Come to the corner of 68th and Lawfin.. I'll throw you a sack.

I saw it done a few years ago. You cut up an orange into 4 to 8 wedges, and rubberband one or two to a piece of rock and place it in the tank. The theory at that time was to help the fish ward off ich. I don't know if it did anything.

And for the record, I do feed banana to my tank occasionally. My purple tang loves it. I simply take a small piece, mashing it up in my fingertips under water to set bits off in the flow and the fish chase it around and some eat it.

Yeah I've done the bannana thing before and my fish went nuts my acans like bananas when they'd catch em I never intentionally feed them it
