How much food for scopas tang?
How much food would you say is a good amount to feed a 3"-4" scopas tang a day?
i currently feed it about a 10cm x 5cm sheet of geen, red or purple sea weed a day is this to much or to little? by the end of the day you can see his belly if fat with food!  james

Re: How much food for scopas tang?
Hi James,
I was pretty much wondering the same thing myself, I asked the same question on a different thread but it hasn't been answered yet. I feed twice that to the same size tang :P

Tangs are constant grazers in nature, so the more food the better.
 Also don't just feed it the algae sheets, mix it's diet with algae, mysis, flakes, etc. |

Re: How much food for scopas tang?
so basicly just make sure there is a algae sheet there all the time?
It eats the other food that i feed to my other fish as well as macro algae that grows on the rocks, so hopefully its getting a good diet. cheers james. P.S. louise love you avit!!

Re: How much food for scopas tang?
Yeah always make sure there is some greenery for it to graze on, and even make sure to change it up to different types for a more varied diet.
