alantic blue tangs

[papa.250]

Just picked up two small alantic tangs. Just wondering if anyone had any opinions on them. Thanks

Good fish. Feed them lots of nori daily. Enjoy.

what is nori

 

[WLachnit]

The japanese generic name for edible seaweed. You can get it at any LFS.

seaweed / algae. You can get it from asian supermarkets or the asian section in general stores. Buy unseasoned.
Or you can buy expensive algae sheets from your LFS.
You need to feed it daily preferably on an algae clip.
When the fish grow you are going to have a lot of tang for a 120g

I moved up to a 180. I have a vlamingi tang, any issue their.

I don't think a 180 is large enough for those three, especially when the Atlantic Tangs start to grow.

You'll be able to tell us if there is an issue real soon. I buy the nori sheets at the grocery store but they are also available at petsmart along with a $4 algae clip.

Agree - A 180g won't be large enough for the vlamingi alone when it grows. They are a big fish!!
