Hey guys,
I have had a 75 gallon set-up for about 8 months now, it has about 60lbs of live rock, no coral (maybe later). I have had a couple blue and gold damsels for a couple months now, and I bought my yellow tang about two weeks ago. I have had no problem with any of those guys, they eat whenever I drop anything into the tank. I recently bought a flame angel and he is a different story. I introduced him into the tank a couple days ago and he has been quite active and social, and seems to have no problems, except for when it comes to feeding time. I can barely get him to pay attention, and when he does he may only take one bit of food, and possible will spit it out. I constantly see him grazing in the tank, picking at rocks and the glass, but there really isnt much macroalgae in the tank to satisfy a fish as a large as him (the tang already took care of most of it). I am using a frozen herbivore mix, and also a bit of dry shrimp brine. I will feed the fish 2-3 times daily, and do my best not to overfeed. Do I need a different kind of food? Or do I need to shove the food in front of him?? Any help is much appreciated!
