Ok, as some of you know last wed I got a powder blue tang from ffexpress. Ever since I got this fish I have seen it picking at the substrate in the q-tank (a combo of CC and argonite pebbles) and also picking at glass.
There is a significant amount of algae growth on the back glass as well as one some of the PH's thanks to a lack of maintance on those areas.
I have also been feeding some red algae sheets via a lettice clip.
I have seen the tang take in flake food as well as some floating red algae bits and it just seems to spit them right back out. The fish was rather skin and bones when I got it so I want to plump him up real good before his q-tank session is over.
I just purchased some Brown Algae Seaweed Select and Selcon Vitamin Supplement online.
I know tangs are more pickers and grazers.
U think this feeding habbit is normal?
So far it looks desease free and the color has come back very nicly.
