NASO TANG FEEDING = HELP =

[RICKY81]

i just recently bought myself a NASO TANG one week ago and two weeks ago a CORAL BEAUTY ANGEL at local PETCO store. Initially i suppose it's like all fish, you first introduce them to your tank for the first 2-3 days they are shy then they start coming out. Well luckily both of my fish are over this stage. The only problem is that the NASO TANG won't eat anything i feed them. The CORAL BEAUTY ANGEL is eating fine. I have tried Mysis shrimp, NORI, NORI flakes, Pellets, regular flakes, with Garlic drops about 10 minutes prior to feeding time and the NASO TANG will just nibble on the food and spit it back out, or will just swim pass it but will ignore the food.

I have other tangs 3 yellow tangs, 1 scopas tangs, among other damsels and clown fish they all feed off this food and doesn't seem that the tangs or other fish are being aggressive toward the NASO TANG either on feeding time or just regularly.

My tank is a 75gal i have plenty of LR about 110lbs

The NASO TANG is about 3 in. long and looks pretty healthy no signs of ICK, or skin or fin disease.. JUST THAT IT WON'T EAT ANYTHING WHEN IDOES ANYBODY KNOW FEED IT...... WHAT ELSE I CAN FEED THIS FISH?

where i live we only have a PETCO for saltwater supplies so i am pretty limited to what i can buy. i have seen blood worms would this work.. i guess since time is an issue i am probably better off making something. like buying something at H-E-B or Wal-Mart seafood section....

ANY IDEAS OR COMMENTS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED AND THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND TIME....RICKY81

if you find something that works please share with us, I went through almost $300 in food trying to get a Naso to eat.. it never did

my tang died i think due to the damsels being hogs and never letting him eat ....

regular brine shrimp worked for me

My Naso would eat anything-specifically Formula 2 flake. I could feed him from my hand, poor guy just died one day, I can't figure out why. He was my clowns best friend. they would just swim around everywhere together.

i recently just lost my naso tang had him/her for almost 2 years...that was my favorite fish..whole reason why i kept my tank up and running and not downgrade was because of it..for some reason it just stopped eating and started losing weight. idk what it was. that thing would eat and eat anything and everything i would put in the water..loved that fish so much lol

sucks now my tank is so empty without seeing it swim back and forth...

is it grazing on your live rock?

I think tangs only eat veggies for the most part.
