For what it is worth I can not get mine to eat anything but Purple seaweed from two little fishies. Each fish has a different personality
Dude.... This worked. I had some extra red seaweed by 2lf and placed it on a clip. He went right for it!!

I'm still going to monitor closely as there is some aggression. But I'm. Really happy he's eating something.

You must have Irish Tangs then, we were brought up on Red seaweed (Dulse).

Lol hilarious! So the 2lf stuff isn't exactly available everywhere and not the cheapest - have you feed any alternatives that work? I'm going to order some red and purple now regardless.

You can buy it on Amazon, just search for Dulse.

This is my jam for my tangs and all fish really. I have alway gotten a tough eater to take with garlic and vitamins. Outside of the fish being diseased of course. Also, both have spirulina. I also give the tank fish eggs periodically. Everything in the tank consumes them. Best of luck.

Good to hear it's eating. My YT would only eat 2LF purple and green.
Ate every pellet/fresh/frozen
