New fish - sorta

Ruth · #1 01-28-2006, 02:47 AM

I have added a couple of pictures to my gallery ('cause I am too stupid to figure out how to post them in a thread) Anyway a picture of my Naso Tang (approx. 10" long) and my Moorish Idol. Was kinda leary of the Idol as I have already had one that my yellow tang killed. I thought I might be OK with this guy as he is quite a bit bigger than my YT but no way Jose. I had to move him to my new tank where I was really worried that there would not be enough on the rock yet for him to survive. I have had both fish in there since the beginning of December and the one that is actually the picky eater is the Naso. He only eats Nori, chaeto and grape calurpa. The Idol eats all - Nori, which he will grab right out of the Naso's mouth, any meaty food that I add and sorta pick on calurpa. I try to exchange some live rock out of my 230 that has sponges on it for him to eat and so far so good. He has really put on weight and is just the coolest fish. Both eat out of my hand and it can be a challenge to actually get a piece of Nori attached to the magnet I use to hold it to the side of the tank.

Nice Naso by the way, the Naso I had only ate Nori for the first year and a half that I had him. Once he stating eating flake food there was no stopping him, he ate everything
