feeding in hospital tank

[dreams]

Morning!

How do make sure my blennie & tang have enough food in the hospital tank? The blennie only eats off live rock/glass & the tang will only eat tiny bits of sheet algea soaked in garlic.

Thanks!

well, feed as normal. the blenny will get used to eating without the rock and glass, well, most will. if its a copepod eater, you'll have problems though, as copepods will likely die in any treatment you do to the hospital tank.
just take the food out after 20 minutes, and remember to do lots of water changes

if ya don't mine me asking: why are they in hospital anyway?

my tang & angel have ich....i am setting up the tank today....was wondering what those two were gong to eat , the blennie & tang

the blennie is a lawnmower blennie

my other question....if i am not feeding fish in the main tank, do i need to feed the filter feeders more, since there will be less dissolved matter in the water?

Dreams,
My tang and angel ate and loved mysis shrimp.

I put small amounts of food into my tank to feed my snails.
