Vlamingii Tang

[Freenow54]

I decided to cut back feeding my fish so much. I noticed after about 2 weeks that my Vlamingii Tang sand sifting . To me a huge benefit. Now I wonder how many other fish not designated as a sand sifter practice that . It would spit the coralline out , or it would come out its Gills

If it is sand sifting you should probably provide it more nori, especially if the rocks are bare of it.

I see my sail fin poop aragonite from time to time and that’s my queue to up my nori feedings. A fat healthy fish is better than one trying to scavenge for food.

If you are cutting feedings to help with water parameters it’s starving the fish at the sake of husbandry. A hungry fish will also become more aggressive, especially a tang.

Too late for the Aggression thing. I was overfeeding them all , it still killed 4 fish over territory. It is now the only fish in a 100 gallon . Point taken I will feed it more Nori through the day. I think it is sifting to get the flake food it doesn't get to when I feed ?
