Hi All -
I have a 105 gallon reef, i have not had any success with keeping bristletooth tangs, all of them seem to die off after a few weeks. I recently just had a really healthy 2 inch yellow eye kole tang that i got at my LFS, it died off after 2 weeks. He did not eat any nori, new life spectrum or flake food and just died. I have had the same scenario with various different ones over the past year.
All of my other fish are healthy and eating/ growing well. ( I have 2 x small yellow tangs - 2 inch size (had for 3 months now growing very well), 4 x clown fish 1.5inch, 3 x firefish).
Is there a specific food that i need to feed bristletooths or do i need to buy a certain species of them that is hardy.
Please advise if others have had better experience with keeping them for longer.
thank you
