Blahhh. :shocked!: Thats what my tangs appeared to say to banana. Guess they are to spoiled already. Even my pig lawnmower blennie turned up his nose. :lol:

My purple and regal tang loved the banana. I cut it into smaller pieces and they just attacked them. I don;t think I will feed bannana more than once a month but it makes for nice treat.

Thanks for the advice.

Just curious to see if anyone has tried this again recently? I just saw a video on youtube where a CBB mowed down a piece of banana from this guy's hand! Nice.

The banana was a huge hit with my tangs they are fighting over it also my herd of anthias
seemed to like it too. But I think they prefer to stay clear of the tangs. One is a yellow and the other is a hippo. It seems to be a bust in my other tank. My fish are very spoiled though as they get mainly frozen food. Oh sorry to bud in but I can't seem to post on here, I have a fairly new family member and she tends to be a slow eater. She is a juv. queen angel she seems to not be eating with much gusto. I have tried every frozen food I could think of angel blend, mysis, brine, frozen algae. She is not fond of flakes either. Anyone got a suggestion. And of course algae sheets. I have had one before and it ate
anything and everthing. HEEEEELLLLPPPPPP.

So how big of a piece of Banana do you use? How much leftover waste is there?

Nice!

how do you guys feed it? i tried awhile ago and the banana got all mushed in the nori clips.

DEAD_BY_DAWN 12-03-2008 06:01 AM

Well the technique i used was this
Walk pasted my tank remember some post of canreef about some guy feeding his fish bananas and threw in a small chunk and observed :)

Der_Iron_Chef 12-03-2008 06:04 AM

Yup. Just toss a small chunk in. I think I may try a steamed piece of broccoli tomorrow and attach it with a nori clip. Less mushy than banana.
