I figured as long as its eating and gaining weight, it should have enough strength to fight it off.
Here is what I have gathered from my 2 achilles tangs that I have kept. Feed heavy and feed constant(nori sheets), soak the feed in garlic and selcom to boost immune system. Make sure your tank has excellent flow to mimic the natural habitat, high flow and high oxygen level is what these fish love. Besides that I guess it all boils down to luck. |
haha thanks
I totally agree with the feeding. I find that if I need to overfeed, ill add an old filter sock to catch anything extra that goes down the overflow. But right now, my AT eats like a pig, and is constantly begging for food when I walk by the tank.
