What does your Hippo eat?

[barchtruong]

I have a Hippo tang for almost aweek now.
It's doing good, not very stress. A small one thou. (2") and a lil on the skinny side.
I want to feed it with diff type of food, but it only eat Mysis.
Never glanced at sheet algae and don't see it grazing.
I have to keep feeding it with Mysis cuz if I don't, it will die cuz of starving and my tank will fill up will pellets, flake and sheet algae that he and tank mates dont' eat.
If you have one, what does yours eat?
And how easy is it to train them eat different things.
Thanks

Give her time to warm up. I soaked all food in garlic guard for the first month to entice eating & build up immune system. Now she eats mysis, formula 1 & 2, marine cuisine, nori. Really eats everything except red nori

I agree with A&A .. soak everything you have in garlic .. fish love the taste and smell and it also raises their immune system

do you soak your mysis in vitamins?
