So what do you feed your herbivores

[underwaterdan]

I have two tangs and feel they aren't getting any nutrition. What do you feed yours?

Nori, frozen foods such as Emerald Entré, Veggie Delight and a couple Spirulina flake foods as well. These are just some of the "green" foods that are being fed though. Add NLS pellets, Mysis shrimp and live black worms to the list as well.

Nori from the Japanese food store? Any garlic added?

You can add garlic if you like. I would crush up garlic and soak it in DI water before putting it on the nori. I found nori last night at my local Publix supermarket for $2.50 for ten sheets.

You could also use Kent Garlic Xtreme.

I also alternated between the green, red and purple nori varieties.

I have several tangs and a moorish idol that I feed LRS reef frenzy, LRS herbivore frenzy, hikari seaweed extreme pellets, mysis, ocean nutrition formula two frozen cubes, LRS nori, & ocean nutrition flake food. I have had some of them since I began and my idol is fat and doing good. I try to vary the food I give them, soak some of it in Selcon, and feed multiple times a day. I feel really good about LRS foods and make sure that is their main diet. If you feel they need it increase the number of feedings throughout the day. Just know that depending on your system it may take time to balance back out and you may have to make changes or upgrades to maintain that feeding level. Good luck

I feed my 2 tangs nori from the Asian grocery store and New Era algae pellets. They also get some Protein when I feed the other fish either LRS reef frenzy or Rods reef blend.

I feed green and red algae alternately. They also eat the variety of frozen meaty and veggie blends that I feed the other fish. So pretty much everything.
