Poweder Blue tang Feeding

[tgruby]

I have a powder blue tang.....It eats the algae growing in the tank (hair algae). Is that enough for it? Will that provide all the nutrients it needs? I feed Angel and Butterfly (frozen) and it eats a little of that, but my other fish (Specifically Tomato Clown Pair) are more aggressive eaters.

Also I was thinking about getting a Copperband butterfly but I'm no sure that I will because I'm afraid that it wouldn't be able to get food even if it was eating.

get some nori and feed either via a clip or rubberband to a rock. you may also want to try feeding mysis shrimp as well.

I feed mine mysid, frozen formula 1, purple nori and occasional formula 2 flake & pellets.

Getting ready to make my own mixture of clams, scallops, shrimp etc all made from grocery store bought food.

Mine LOVES the mysid soaked in garlic and zoe. The more variety the better. IMHO the more sensative the fish, the better the diet needs to be, and PBT's are pretty sensative.

I just got one and it eats frozen brine and seaweed from clip.
