Feeding PAcific Blue Tangs (aka Dori :) )

My bad. Romaine is better than the other types.

The nori you get at supermarkets (Superstore, T&T, wherever) is the same stuff that's repackaged and sold with a massive markup at LFS. Just look for the plain nori for making sushi as opposed to the stuff with the salt and spices in it.

Unlike other tangs which eat algae in the wild, the Hippo or Pacific Blue Tang is omnivorous. It eats primarily meaty food.
Accordingly, I feed it pieces of shrimp and it gets its algae from the pieces of nori which I feed the other tangs.
I soak the food in garlic extreme and add selcon from time to time.
These fish are ich magnets so the garlic is a good preventative.
Thanks

Mine just eats algae from rocks and glass.
This fish is so fat it's belly is like a drum.
Will have to sale her soon and get a smaller one for my 60Gal tank
