So I have 8 fish in QT from a ich breakout not long after a dang velvet outbreak to what I lost half of my fish at the beginning of the year. Non the less....... I have 8 that are healthy and they sure are characters. First off is the emperor.... he/she really is something else. Swims in patterns I have not seen many swim. Truth be told gives me hippy vibes big time! Next up is the boss of the bunch a powder blue that leads the food train. If I where to feed him/her 24/9 it would eat non stop. Then it gets the others going..... What I mean by food train is it starts swimming as I approach the front of the tank and then the others flow waiting for food. AND they really do not stop unless something spooks them.

Last but not least what got me to start this thread...... The minic literally eats turds all day!!! How do I stop it???? Without hesitation too! Like no remorse! Just goes in and digs in all the tang the tangs leave behind! All the others spit it out the minute they taste it I guess. But nope not the minic! It dives right in!

On a real note is this bad???? hahahaha! I mean it. Just makes me laugh though.

I will post a pic of the bunch and try to get a video with white lights when I get a chance in the next few days.

Younger tangs eat Poop often, especially from other tangs or fish that eat algae.

Often times, bigger tangs will poop at the sign of food so that the smaller tangs will eat poop while the big tang eats the primo food
