    Hello all--I just aquired a 72 gallon tank with the following fish:

    Yellow Tang
    Blue Damsel
    Banded Clown
    Flame Hawkfish

    When my friend kept my tank for me until I could move it, he was just feeding them all frozen brine shrimp....that's not good enough for me--especially because the tang and the clown I know eat vegetation primarily. Any suggestions of other good foods for these guys?!?

    they will all eat flakes and pellets, tang needs vegetation, nori on clip or ive heard broccoli,spinach.lettuce or zuchini.. i like the mysis shrimp better. but make sure the tang definitely gets veggie matter. dont want no hole in the head to start happening

    I would avoid pellets unless you soak them first. If/when a fish ingests them, the pellets can swell in the fish's stomach.
