naso tang eating snails
ugh... i thought naso tangs are vegetarians? I just placed one in my tank and he is eating all my small snails... is this normal? I was told to feed him lettuce and vegetables i placed some in the tank but he seems to loooove these little snails he is going to town on my cleanup crew.

About 5 or 6 inches long... got him to help with a green algae problem i am fighting. He is a pig he has not stopped eating since i placed him in the tank he has eaten some algae and maybe is sucking algae off the snail shells but i am pretty sure he has swallowed some. They are dwarf ceriths, well the way he is eating i may have my algae problem solved
 What a cool fish he is loving it in the tank.What do most people feed them? |

Here'a cool trick for your naso. Hold the food in between your fingers just under the water, and that naso will come up and eat from your fingers. After a few times, just stand in front of the tank. He will do all kinds of tricks. He will work for his food! .
