Have a question about a regal that I just bought. He is only about 1 inch long and is in my QT tank. First of all, how long do most people leave fish in the QT tank? I have read from 1-6 weeks…most however say 4. He shows no signs of any disease and has been in there for 5 days now. Also his companion is a velvet dottieback. They are in a 20 gallon long.
Secondly how fast do tangs grow? I feed them both every other night with mysis shrimp soaked in garlic extract…Plus I put a strip of seaweed in the tank on a clip as well and he will literally eat a 1 by 1 inch strip in less than 8 hours….hes eating great. Just want to know how long it will be before he gets to be a good size.
Lastly what else do people feed tangs to make sure they get the proper diet? I feed seaweed and mysis….what else?
Thanks
Also my main tank is a 125 so he will have plenty of room!!
