feeding those little buggers - how much is too much?

[daniella3d]

If you think that's fine, then why don't you do the same and feed your own fishes just every other day then??

Sorry I don't buy that, especialy for tangs who need to feed many times per day on nori. The tang I got did have plenty of time to get to the skin and bone condition and took nearly a month with nori all day long and many feeding per day to get back to health! It did not starve like that in one day, but the LFS had them long enough it seem.

the fish when I got it, absolutely no fat what so ever...just skin and bone. It was a rescue to buy it:



then after a month with good constant food..now a very different fish!:



that's sad to see a fish so skinny and I see them very often at LFS. You see them get in a nice batch of yellow tangs and after a few weeks they all look very skinny. And yes they do keep them that long often.
