[eserrano]

i have damsels, clownfish, and a blue hippo tang. was told tang eats diff food from the brine shrimp i been feeding the others, i bought mega marine algae for the tang. both foods are the cubed frozen kind. how would i feed the separate food , would i just do one cube of both everytime?

Do you have a mature tank where the tang can graze the rocks all day? If not, then for the health of the fish and to reduce stress and disease it would be advisable to clip algae sheets or nori for it during the times that the lights are on.

you think he will be ok for a couple days it is a farely new tank and i work the next few days and wont get to the pet store because it not right in my town

Get a veggie clip and feed him Nori Sheets or Romaine Lettuce. He'll scarf it up, and the others may check it out as well.

You can get the nori at the grocery store.

[Reefing Madness]

Yea, that will work, try em both, mix em up some. Don't feed em the same thing all the time.

 

[eserrano]

how often show i feed them sea weed

 

[Mike J.]

It should be available to them at all times (daylight hours) if you don't have a mature tank to keep them occupied.

 

[Reefing Madness]

I only feed mine once a day, but its a big once a day feeding.

i put seaweed for my blue hippo tang in my tank on a clip how long should i leave it in?

 

[eserrano]

the light is going to come on while im not home should they wait to eat till i get home? if so should i still put seaweed in all day

 

[SeahorseKeeper]

I keep a piece of seaweed (not too big) in my tank pretty much all the time. I put a fresh piece in each morning.
