Mimic Lemonpeel Tang

[sedor]

Just a general thread. I got a juvenile about 2 weeks ago and he is thriving in my 125. Interested in other peoples comments about this specific animal. I feed a small (maybe 3"X3") sheet of nori daily. The mimic and a powder brown are the only tangs in the tank. Is this enough vegetation? My daily feeding is done primarily at night and consists mostly of meaty foods, so there are days that go by that the nori is the only source of vegetation the tangs get in the course of the day. Should I be feeding a herbivore diet along with the meaty foods in the evenings as well? Any suggestions on types of food?

Ryan, I feed 4 sheets of nori to my 17 tangs, 2 rabittfish and 1 foxface 3-4x/week. Along with nori, I feed the tank frozen, live and pellets alternating and all of my fish are "thick". I could feed them daily but choose not to.
