New gem tang, is he eating enough?

[tangs123tangs]

Just got a new gem tang in my tank. He is a baby. About 2.5 inches

He came into the tank yesterday. He’s been picking at algae off rock and sand, picks a bit of nori and small amount of frozen food. But seems to eat algae out of the tank a decent bit. Do I need to be concerned at all? Is he getting enough food ? He looks healthy otherwise.

As long as he eats frozen foods you shouldn’t worry too much however once the algae is gone you’ll want to supplement nori in his diet.

Agree with “ I can’t think “ and keep in mind at 2 1/2 inches their tummies are small . Along with nori and I would also try to introduce a high quality pellet food
