I have quite a large Hepatus Tang. It is pretty happy,
looks round and healthy but it is ALWAYS HUNGRY...
It seems like his stomach is a well without the bottom.
You can throu anything in the tank and it disapear
eaten by the fish, and moment after that the fish is
"asking" for more pretending being still hungry.

When I feed Sprung green algae sheets it can devour
whole sheet for one meal if I let him do it...
In terms of frozen plankton in cubes - it has one
cube for one bite... and almost nothing is left for
other fish :-))

So I want to ask the owners of adult sized tangs:
how much do you feed your dependents to keep them happy?

i dont target feed my sailfin but every day except sunday the tank gets 1 4"x6" piece of
nori, plus a good sized portion of formula 1 or 2 or prime reef flake, plus about 1/4 oz
live brine. a cube or 2 of the hakrari frozen angel stuff (for the koran) and some meaty
food for the lunar wrasse and picasso trigger I dont feed them on sunday.

the angel is always in line for food.

I feed my tangs as much as I can to make them as fat as I can.. Ever see a tang
in the wild? Much fatter than any that I have ever seen in captivity
