fatten up tangs!

[Ron Popeil]

what are some of the best ways to fatten up tangs? in addition to constantly available nori and daily mysis, any other quality foods work well at fattening them up?

Think enrichment too, I have got all my fish at the smallest size possible and have been able to fatten them up with mysis, and brine soaked in vitachem and selcon. Fish that I have received that were skinny( indentations in the head and could clearly see their spine) within 2 wks were no longer able to see bones or indentations and had fat bellys

I do the same as Dmorty with vitamin and amino acid supplements, but have also found the high protein content in NLS pellets to work wonders.

Also when skinny or new, I feed often... Like once a hr if I'm at home sometimes twice but that's just me and possibly a little OCD

ive had great results feeding larger shrimps and clams and ... from the grocery store !

and of course PE mysis.

I feed live blackworms, blender mush, and occasionally live baby brine.

A lot will also depend on size of fish purchased, my 8" orange shoulder can eat things my 3" Bellus cannot
