Herbivores

JetEngineMech · 06-05-2008, 06:08 PM

Are there any places or lists that group marine fish by diet? I'm looking to add a couple herbivores to my tank but its taking a while to look at each fish individually to see if it is a herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore.

Tangs are supposed to be herbivores... But my tang loves krill. He will eat krill over any "herbivore" food I try to give him. I don't blame the guy... It's like steak vs broccoli: Is there really any competition?
