getting a PB tang to eat flake

[kien]

what has your approach been ?

What has worked for me (with just about any fish) is to mix in flakes with what they do like to eat (mysis, brine, whatever). When it is a feeding frenzy with all other fish they will just go after their favourite foods at first, but what I notice is after a while they will realize that they have to eat fast. Then they will start to sample just about everything in the water column and eventually learn to like the other stuff too. It eventually comes to a point where anything I dump in the tank is food. Even rubber bands

He will get it eventually, you can try a different type of flake as well - I've had fish who prefer one brand over another.

The best flake for them is a good quality spirolina flake. Never sen a tang refuse them. I used OSI before and now Ocean Nutrition Formula 2. Of course I no longer have tangs but still feed the spirolina to the other fish.

Brand of flake will definately make a difference.

My tangs like ON formula 2, and hate the rest.
