yellow tang

Seamay · 03-08-2005, 04:55 AM

Hey all ...I just added a yellow tang to my tank to hopefully take care of the excess algea in my tank. He is not eating and starting to look thin I`m really nervous for him. I have yet to lose a fish but I think he may be getting picked on by my coral beauty which is the same size as him.
I am feeding (regularly ``marine cuisine which is a carnivore diet( he actually took a small amt of that), Brocolli, and ive tried flake food.
I have seen aggression by this beauty since I put him in there but the other fish are able to deal, but I dont want this fish to suffer....would this cause him no to eat?
thanx chris

try nori (seaweed) usually yellow tangs will eat anything you put in the tank... to stop the coral beauties aggression I would rearrange the decore in the tank to have them establish new territorys... also what are your water parameters and tank stats? Did you QT?
