Feeding Naso Tang

[vkuroczka]

What do you guys feed your Naso Tangs? Mine is only eating turnip greens, I've tried the frozen formula food for tangs and brine shrimp soaked in garlic but hes not interested. He'll chow down on a whole leaf in a day and I'm worried he's not getting all his vitamins and that the leaf will be enough. Thanks in advance for help. Oh yeah he's still in QT been there for 3 weeks.

purple, red, green or mixed greens? these are my options ....does it matter?

algae sheets, frozen mysis, brine, blood worms, cyclopeez....he's all over just about anything I throw in the tank. Can be a bully during feeding time.

What size is that QT he's in? He could just still be a little stressed.

Its a 40 gal QT. He's in there with a green chromis. He's been in there for 3 weeks. I have tried feeding him everything. The only thing he chows down on is the turnip green.

anybody else with any ideas?

Try some thawed out Mysis soaked in garlic extract. Try this for a day or two without giving him the greens. Fish are not stupid, most will eventually give in and eat whats available to them

keep feeding the turnip greens. Will keep him getting nutrients but try to mix in some seaweed selects and maybe formula 2 frozen. Sooner later he will be eating everything.
