Keep a fish happy and fat, get good results eh?

So My tank mates are rounding a year of being with me within the next month or two. I figured Id show you this picture I found of my Naso Tang, Hawk.

This picture was taken the day I got him back in the end of October. Him and his being small at about 1 3/4 "

Wow!!
That's what I call happy fish
K++

 

Very Nice...

 

The thing is, sometimes fish don't want to be fat and happy. A (reef)friend has a blue tang that is a total pig and will eat all of the food it can find, sometimes even nipping at corals. While his naso and powder blue tang don't want to eat very much. Nice naso btw, it looks very healthy.

 

Lol That is True .. This fish was never a huge pig till it got to about 3-4".. then it was set off like crazy... This fish eats anything It wants when it wants etc... Kinda a PITA. But Love it Dearly.

The key for my fish is finding what it loves, and intergrading more and more of the other foods I feed with that food. Once that all works out its like I cant keep food in the tank long enough for everyone to get a decent portion LOL.

 

yay happy fish!!! You do a good job Eric

 

NIce looking fish. I noticed something in your photos. How many tangs do you have in that 120? I saw the following: Naso, Purple, Chevron, Blue Regal, Dejardini sailfin, Achilles, and a rabbit fish. while I am not the tang police, that does seem like alot of tangs (6).

 

Hah If you look at my Signature It has the current stock in the tank.

I moved fish, traded in ect. Basicaly my 5 tang gang and a few clowns

 

That is my favorite tang! I'm jealous and he's a massive pig!

 

Yea, i see that now.. still dude, 5 in a 120? then again, I had a purple, a powder brown and a tomini in a 75.
