fox face starving

[Richard parry]

Hi guys, i have a fox face that id love to eat my ha but im worried if i take away his seaweed he will starve. I have a tang that likes the additional seaweed aswell , to be honest all the fish do . If i take away the clip will the eat the HA or will the tang and fox starve on just the frozen food?

keep the seaweed in there, the foxface requires this as well as protein like mysis shrimp

I have a fox face that lives solely on green feather cualerpa, and he is healthy.

it seems that he will eat the seaweed and leave the HA. Is there anything i can do to turn him onto the HA or should i just keep feeding the seaweed and get a tang?

 

[JoeyK@OCMD]

I would continue feeding greens and add some garlic to the frozen preparations. Attempt to get him to eat some protein, but don't try to force him to change his diet. My fox face does'nt touch anything other than the cualerpa and he his nice and fat.

How often are you feeding? My foxface seems to be grazing (on HA etc.) all day long. I feed once a day (in the evening).

i feed once a day and put the greens in the clip once or twice a day. Thanks guys
