Looking to change fish diet

Currently I have:

1 - Naso Tang
1 - Powder Blue Tang (Skinny, Picky, wont take much)
1 - Orange Shoulder Tang
4 - Maldives Anthias (1 Male, 3 Female)
2 - Clownfish
1 - Purple Firefish
1 - Midas Blenny
1 - Coral Beauty
1 - Diamond Goby
1 - Yellow Watchman Goby
1 - Mandarin (obviously eats pods, very fat!)


I currently am feeding twice a day, rotating frozen mysis soaked in garlic and Selcon on one day and New Life Spectrum Thera+A Regular Formula the next day. Every other day I use Ocean Nutrition Seaweed Select Marine Algae.

Currently, every fish eats fine, except for my powder blue, who only eats seaweed and will not take any mysis or pellets. My naso wont take mysis but with the seaweed and pellets (he tears pellets up) he is very healthy looking. However my powder blue has me worried, because he doesn't look unhealthy, he just doesn't look AS healthy as the Naso and Orange Shoulder.


What are some other combinations/food recommendations/brands that you guys recommend. I know I like a wide variety in my own meals, so I want to add the same for my fish!!!

 

no input at all?

 

You might want to ask member RedGambit, he has a lot of experience with tangs.

Also you may want to consider possible internal parasites.

Sure sounds like you doing all you can do to meet their nutritional needs.

 

I am, I firmly believe that what I've witnessed from looking at different forums is that quality food can keep a tank extremely healthy, and if things pop up such as Ich they do not last and fatalities do not happen, so I want to keep the trend going!

 

I dont have any experience with tangs but I have been feeding rods food original for about a year now and have been able to see even my Hectors goby eat it. Has a large mix of stuff all in it.

good luck

I feed Ocean Nutrition Reef Flakes, PE Mysys and Ocean Nutrition Seaweed. Soaked in Brightwells Vitamin C, and H2O Life GVH Seaweed Soak. All these have done a tremendous work for the tangs. Simple as adding vitamins basically to what you are doing. You should notice some girth in the tangs after a month or two from using a Vitamin C and HUFA Supplement.

 

woke up this morning to a dead powder blue. I think there were some other issues to him besides being picky about food. Seemed to happen really fast though. No signs of any other fish having problems but I will definitely keep an eye out
