Vacation tang feed

[Brianciske]

Going on 3 week vacation. Bought auto fish feeder to feed pellet food. My bristletooth tang only eats frozen spirulina shrimp and ignores flakes and pellets. Also ignores norie algae strips. Does pick on the fine fuzzy algae on the rockwork. My other damsels and clown do eat everything I offer. Should I try to feed nothing else for awhile to entice the tang to eat pellets.

I went on a 2-week vacation recently with a purple tang in my tank who only liked his seaweed clip. I started about a month out before I left only feeding pellets and he gradually started eating them and now takes them no problem. Your tang will eventually realize that it needs to eat the flakes/pellets.

My bristletooth would just eat mysis shrimp other than peck at the rocks. Took him a while but will now eat the nori after the Blue Tang rips off pieces and they float around. But what I found he does love to eat are the algae wafers. Maybe try those. Can put them in the auto feeder.
