I saw and read some where on the internet
some experience ppl have put lettuce in the tank for Tangs.
how often do you have to replace the lettuce in the tank? will the lettuce turn bad?
thank you

I USE ROMAN LETTUCE. I JUST PUT HALF A LEAF IN THERE A DAY. I TAK EIT OUT EVERY NIGHT. SOME TIMES I WONT PUT IT IN THERE. I WOULD SAY 3 OR 4 NIGHTS A WEEK TOTAL, ON AVERAGE. SOMETIMES ALL WEEK. USE A LITTLE COMMON SENSE. IF IT LOOKS BAD TO WHERE YOU WONT EAT IT THEN DONT GIVE IT TO THE FISH. ALSOLOOK TO OTHER ALTERNATIVES TO FEEDING. NOT JUST LETTUCE. AND DONT GET HOOK ON IT. WASH IT REALLY WELL. TRY MAKING YOUR OWN FOOD WITH ZOE FOR GOOD NUTRITION. GOOD LUCK!

most people use seaweed selects for tangs as opposed to lettuce. Seaweed is more natural for them... they do not find any iceberg or romaine lettuce underwater. that's just what I think...i'm sure lettuce works fine for them and i know plenty of people who do that...but why do that when u can give them their natural diet of seaweed?

I AGREE. I USE LETTUCE, HOWEVER THAT IS JUST TO CUT ON COST OF FOOD. I HAVE PRETTY LARGE FISH. THEY EAT LIKE CRAZY. AS I RECOMENDED YOU MAKE SOME OF YOUR OWN FOOD WITH PLENTY OF GREEN STUFF AND VITAMINS. THAT WAY YOUKNOW WHAT THEY GETMORE OF.
I WOULD ONLY THE LETTUCE IF YOUR MONEY WAS TIGHT. HEY TRY IT THEY MAY NOT LIKE IT. I HAD A ANGEL THAT WOULD NOT TOUCH IT. IF YOU USE SEAWEED YOU WILL FEEL BETTER WBOUT YOUR FISH ALSO. I THINK IT WILL HELP NATURAL COLOR ALSO

If you use lettuce, use romaine. Iceberg lettuce has no nutritional value.
