My tank has the following fish

2 Yellowtail Damsels
1 Yellow Tank
1 Bicolor Angel
2 Mandarin Gobys
2 True Percs

I am trying to introduce seaweed as a additional food source (mainly for the tang) but he keeps swimming right past it. Are there any tricks to introducing this stuff. I am using a clip and hanging it on the glass in the tank.

Let it sit in the water for a few hours and get soggy, then pinch some inbetween your fingers and rub them together. It should break it up in little pieces and float around. The tang may be enticed to eat it that way. Mine follow me around the tank till I put it in. Then like raptors almost all of my fish attack it.

I'd leave it in the tank. It took our hippo a couple of hours watching the yellow tnag gooble it up. LOL

Oh yeah, my bicolor gets right in there with the three tangs and foxface and gets it's fair share.
