    I have only had the gobie since saturday and have only seen him sifting sand. That he does very very very well I may add. My tank looks like a dust storm and I have a huge pile of sand at one end where he has made a cave under the rock......he seems happy but I want him to be well fed and happy. I can't seem to get the tang to eat lettuce or seaweed......only frozen mysis or brine laced with spirulina

    Have you tried feeding the tang broccolli until it gets accustomed to eating flake?

    Vegans? What are they? Star Wars creatures or something?

    Anyway, stop hijacking this thread or the moderator will get annoyed

    Yes, that's exactly what they are :)

    Right, back on topic. What kind of tang have you got that's not feeding well?
