They should be able to take nori sheets okay
Thank you both. I’ll keep adding nori in the tank but I think the snails and crabs are eating most of it. Tiny hippo dives for the rocks when I get close so I’m not sure if it’s picking at the nori or not. It did come out and eat some frozen real quick; I just want it to eat so I feel the need to give it whatever it wants. The rock in the tank is mature and from the ocean but full of bubble algae and not so much tasty tang algae. Any additional advice is very much welcomed. It’s amazing how much I love this fish already. ;Shy
I bought 3 yellow tangs over 3 years ago for my 155 gallon reef tank when they were all about the size of a quarter. The salesman at the LFS told me that he couldn't offer me the usual 14 day guarantee because they don't recommend putting more than one tang of the same species in a tank. I still have all 3. They have a pecking order and there is a slight size difference in all 3, but they are thriving, and about 3-4 inches now. I bought a powder blue tang shortly before the yellow tangs. He was about the size of a half dollar and was a model member of my reef tank community for most of that time, but grew to about 6-7 inches and was just to large for the tank. Never mean, but the size of him and his restlessness frightened the other fish, so I traded him about 2 months ago for some corals from the aquarium service that I use from time to time. They found him a good home in a 350 gallon aquarium. Your yellow tang will grow quickly. Mine love nori, Hikari seaweed extreme pellets, and harvested macro algae.I just got a Yellow and he's at 2". I was a bit disappointed because he looks kinda big even if it's only 2". Do you think this is an ideal size? Have you ever got a tang that's smaller than this?
