Yellow mimic tang

Fishfinder · Apr 6, 2018

hi everyone this is my yellow mimic. He just did ~25 days in CP with a blonde naso. And unfortunately during that time he developed a bacterial infection. He stopped eating and its got to the point that I didnt think he could finish the entire treatment. It's been about 2-3 weeks since I've seen him eat. So I pulled them out of QT. (I usually have better luck getting fish to eat with no meds in water) They have appeared parasite free and +20 days of CP so into the display they went in hopes of keeping him alive. I felt this was his only hope for eating. It's his second day in the display and for the first time i saw him nipping some algae from the rock. Wish him luck, he will need it.

Good luck.

Easily my favorite tang... by far.

Will it eat PE mysis? It will fatten him up a lot if you can get it eating mysis.

Not yet. He did initially when I bought him. But not right now

Wow! That is one thin tang. Poor fish. Take a look as Jsker's post on how he feeds fish. Changed the way I feed my own. Good info. Since I switched, I've never seen them so full of energy and color.
