    feeding a baby blue hippo tang

    Just curious what works for everyone who has or know someone who has one. I have had these in the past with no issues and just got another this past weekend (real nice healthy one!!!) and it's eating already too but just wanted some input on what works for others :)

    Are you talking about a Regal Tang aka Hippo Tang? Not that it matters because all tangs eat veggies. They now have Formula Two flakes that they love. Attach some Nori to a clip. Spiralina flakes or froxen cubes are good.

    mysis shrimp, they love that
    you can also feed some ocean nutrition flakes
    and also some veggie flakes or some seaweed on a clip, it eats everything you put in the tank but just make sure to give them a wide variety of diet
