I got a 4-5" yellow belly yang about three weeks ago and have not been able to get him to eat anything. I have tried every dry food, including Nori. I have tried frozen brine and Arcti-pods. I have a couple of rather aggressive yellow tangs in the tank as well so I spent about three hours catching the blue tang last night and now have him in quarantine. Now I am hoping he isn't too stressed out, but I have to find something he will eat. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciaed.

Did you try soaking the food in garlic?? Evertime I've done this with fish that won't eat they chow down.

AMD30- Thanks, but I have tried those.

Blface- I haven't tried that. I just picked up some mysis and am going to try that first, then I will try the garlic.

Thanks to all.

Galic or Zoe soak should work
