New Addition - 2 Inch Blonde Naso Tang

[JaysLittleOcean]

I just purchased a 2 Inch Blonde Naso Tang for my aquarium and she is the only one of the bunch that isn't interested in acclimating with no issues. She spent most of the 1st and 2nd day staying inside the rockwork and not eating. Day 3 toward the end of the day she has spent the later part of the day slowly hanging out in the open but still not eating. My main question is what is your go to food for enticing tangs to eat? How aften do you feed your tangs and what amount?

Try live brine shrimp, also i feed all my fish twice a day mostly dry food(flakes, pellets, etc) only time i feed frozen is maybe once every 3 days or when i get a new edition than its daily until i see it eating the dry food......dry food is just easier for me....and of course if the fish isnt eating live until it comes around or it dies...

Mine was the same way in the Begining. I thought he wasn't going to make it.
Eventually he started only eating nori. Then a few days later he started mysis. Now he eats anything even my fingers. Lol. Give him some time to settle.

If the stomach is not too pinch in don't worry. When you start to see it pinched and not eat, then it might be an issue. I just got mine eating seaweed after 4-5 days. I shred it and put it in the water. Good luck!

Try soaking some brine or mysis shrimp in garlic before feeding and try some nori on a clip, gl
