Only have 1. I was speaking in general terms. And yah I kenw you said that but was typing up post while someone was here
Maybe it`s a good idea for you to do some homework before buying a fish . Waiting till after you get the fish can be too late . It is bad enough it is in a 20 and now you don`t know what to feed it .
I did do some research before, for 2 clown fish. I didnt come to find this forum until after i had purchased the tank but did do alot of random reacding from different sites. The Tang was given to me and I knew it wasnt good but didnt know what to do with it at the time. Was about to sell it to LFS but then the 2 clowns died.
The food which ive been feeding it is a mix of ( i have the box infront of me now) Squash, spinach, romaine lettuce, some vitamins and some other stuff. They are called fish gumdrops
Ease up guys. Yes research needs to be done first, but atleast he is seeking advice now.
Thanks
Frozen brine does nothing for a fish, so...... use vitamins and fresh garlic juice to soak foods in. Garlic boosts the immune system alot.
So mysis does nothing for fish? or yellow tangs specifically? Also, when you say garlic can i just get garlic from the grocery store and cut it up?
The cycle "process" was explained to you on another one of your threads. That's most likely why your Clowns died and your Tang is probably also struggling. Feeding is important, but that fish is doomed in your tank.
My tank cycled from as far as i know. And, obviously
, i dont know too much and started off somewhat on the wrong foot, but I had 20 lbs of live sand and 10-12 lbs of live rock in m tank for a month before adding anything else. I also had it that long without a testing kit so I never saw any ammonia or nitrite spikes. Now, i have nitrate around 20 but today i did a large, 50%, water change and it helped it out.
Why exactly is the fish doomed in the tank? becuase it doesnt have enough space to swim? thats the only thing I've been told is wrong with the 20 gallon tank. Atleast until the summer ends and i go back to school i will not be getting a larger tank. If Giallo(fishes name) will not survive that long for sure please let me know. Go back to school end of august.
cjworkman - thanks
Okay, here are some pictures. I moved my tank around yesterday and think this is much better. Giallo now has a place he really likes to hang out instead of all over the place ( before the 2 rocks were seperated)
gonna make a new post for them
