    Unhappy Bicolor angel and clown tang

    I put them into my tank last night. At first, they hid bihind the rock.
    As time went on, it came out of the rocks.

    BUT, they moved only small space. I know tang needs lots of spaces to move, but this tang doesn't much move. Before I took them from shop, they ate well.. Now, they don't eat well.. especially, bicolor angel doesn't eat at all. What shall I do? Just wait some more day, or do special things?

    Tell me how... Thanx~!
    Be patient... or you'll see.....

    oooh, both very difficult fish. clown tangs have poor survival record when young. not seen much around here. also can get very aggressive.

    bicolor angels can be finicky eaters. another poor captive survivor.

    try a variety diet and hopefully they will find something they like.

    Oh~!

    I didn't know those things have poor survive records. What shall I do?
    Last night, they moved here and there in tank, but they didn't eat...
    I'm afraid they will die for hunger.
    And is clown tang aggressive? They will be able to torment other fish and make them die?

    good practice is to make certain that the fish are eating well prior to you adding them to your tank. there are no guarantees that a fish eating prior to collection will eat in captivity. especially poor captive eaters.
    best advice at this point is to either bring them back or offer every food available within the aquarium hobby. try feeding sponge type food to the angel or actually buy one and see if he goes for it.

    Fortunately, they are eating and moving healthily. Thanks, God..
    I hope they'll live as long as they can.
