Blue Tang ignores veggies?

[Keyhole Love]

After a week of trying I am asking for suggestions. My new blue tang ignores all types of lettuce, and nori. He does however feed readily on spirulina brine shrimp, mysis, and Spectrum pellets. All of which I soak in Garlic Guard. Any suggestions?

I would not feed Lettuce.. What I would do Is just leave nori soaked in Garlic in the tank on a clip. After some time the tang should take to it..

HTH,

I agree, it took a little bit for my 2 tangs to get used to it. Now they go crazy when I put it in the tank 8O

They like a variety they will eat formula I & II. They need a well balance diet, try soaking your food in vitamins also.
