What veggie's to feed?

I have a blue hippo tang and a one spot fox face rabbit fish. If I put nori in the tank on a veggie clip the fox face will eat it but the blue tang rarely eats any. I tried broccoli but no one even looks at it. Does anyone have other suggestions I am trying to keep my blue tang feed with a good diet.

 

Try Lettuce...

 

lettuce?? i have seen that on people vegie clips befor, i dont konw from exp though, just a thought. Im sure you have tried that befor.

 

lettuce is a favorite once they start eating it, but its nutrionally poor compared to brocolli or nori

if the foxface eats it all i would say just put more or put two clips on opposites sides of the tank

 

Thanks guys that was fast. I see some people soak the food in stuff to make it more appealing to the fish. Should I do this and if so what?

 

you can try, they soak it in garlic. you can use extract but they sell it specifically for the aquarium(the aquarium one comes with vitamin c too)

 

Sounds like the foxface is dominating the clip!The 2 clip method sounds like a good bet.

 

Just want to add

if you do buy one of the commercially available brands of garlic extract (Kent make one, as do others) you can also try some of this on the nori as it can stimulate appetite

I tried broccoli for the first time this week. My yellow tang ate it, and I don't know what else.
