What foods for tangs?

Znut Reefer · 07/04/2007, 08:58 PM

Just wanted to see what foods everyone is feeding their tangs?

Thanks!

In addition to daily nori on a clip, my yellow tang eats anything else I put in the tank. He's not fussy.

Mine arent too picky. They like brine, mysis, emerald entree, and nori. They are just demanding on when they get it, they give me an evil eye every time I walk by the tank if it's getting close to lunch time.

Thanks. Keep the replies coming. I have a foxface tang and have been feeding the following: Nori, brine, mysis, and formula one. Not all of these each night of course.

And now it seems the fox face has gotten a taste for nipping on my millie sps corals. I have had the foxface for over 3 yrs. So, not sure why he has developed a taste for millies now????

Mine will eat everything but Cream Of Wheat! (That's becaus it's not allowed in my house...)

But seriously mine wil eat nori, flake, cyclopeeze, shrimp, squid and lettuce. I have even read about guys feeding oranges.

My yellow and kole aren't picky. They eat nori, flake and any frozen food I put in the tank.

My sohal, and blue tangs eat Prime reef, mysis, nori, squid, scallop

I even tried banana (probably not in the natural diet) LOL

Not very picky eaters IMO.

Mine likes nori, mysis, brine, pellets and special seaweed mix.

Tangs are generally not picky about what they eat... they eat just about anything thats food and smells good! Romaine Lettuce is one of there favorites I think!
