    I have recently added a 3 inch vlamingi tang to my aquarium. I have about 75 pound LR for grazing but I dont base feeding off of this. I only have the tang and a banggai cardinal, which the cardinal doesnt touch algae - so the only algae eater is the vlamingi.
    How much nori should i feed a day? I have those sheets that are about 10" x 10'', and wonder if there is a ball park amount of how much he should eat daily.
    I have also tried fresh romaine, but he is no go with that - for now...

    I put a 1/4 of a sheet in every other day for my vlamingi and yellow. They eat it up and are fat. They also eat on the other food as well.


    EDIT: I will need to put more in as they grow.

    I would put in a piece about the size of a credit card in daily.
    You can try raw broccoli too. Does wonders for their immune systems
