Hes got another 5 days in QT then he's going into the DT he and the chocolate Tang survived 2 days in the ups box because ups misrouted the package

Definitely. These fish literally graze from dawn till dusk in nature.
There was a question of the day poll a little while back on how frequently people provide nori/other algae based foods to their tangs

I was really surprised to see that over 60% of tang owners feed algae based foods less than once a day! I feed a big sheet of nori twice a day and sometimes I feel that isn't enough.

I don't want mine getting too big too fast so I'll keep them on a diet. One sheet every other day

Purple, Blue Hippo, Yellow, Bristletail devour one sheet of Nori, Omega One Marine Flakes, Cobalt Mysis Spirulina flakes, TDO pellets, dried plankton. Sometimes daily

This thread is goals!!! We’re receiving two baby tangs this weekend (a yellow and a purple). Both are finishing quarantine this week. After a long four month wait to get our tank free of the velvet that wiped out all our fish, we’re super excited and planning on spoiling them rotten!!!

He's not very chunky... But he is still cool... Sorry about the pic, I'm not a photographer for sure...

That Achilles is beautiful...

Vlamingi, Naso, chocolate, yellow, Dori, and bristle tooth. The vlamingi has to be almost a foot at this point.

Poor images in the blues and pre water change mix up so murky water but this is my obese Desjardini.

Shes about 8 inches top to tail and literally inhales a sheet of 10 x 10 nori - I sometimes turn away for a few seconds and wonder if i even put the clip in its gone so fast. Shes a pig.
