  • Questoin about feeding my tang cichlids

    i have a 29g with the following stocklist.

    1x F0 Male Lamprologus Occellatus 'Gold'
    1x F0 Male Callochromis melanostigma 'Ndole Bay'
    and 1x Male Julidochromis Maerlieri 'Gombe'

    right now they are getting a diet of NLS 1mm Cichlid Forumla and Ken's Tropheus Lovers Flakes, oh and a weekly feeding of Shrimp Mix.
    my question is, is feeding them shrimp mix ok?
    i havent had any problems.
    also can i feed them frozen bloodworms and other frozen foods like brine shrimp, daphnia, and mysis shrimp?

    Should be fine. What else are you going to add to the tank?

      i plan on adding a gold compressiceps, congo black inkfin calvus, white calvus, yellow calvus, and a goby or 2.

      i am running 1x eheim 2217 and 1 ex 350 ph with sponge.

      i just setup a 20g long which will also be a tang setup.
      but i went in a different direction with that one scape wise.

      i am about to post pics of it.

      in that one i want a pair of kiku firetip brichardi, and some small petricola cats.

        That sounds like a fairly crowded tank. If you want the full Tang experience you should do a group of Occies and a pair of Gobies or Calvus/Comps. I don't think you'd enjoy the singletons as much as you would groups.

          The gobies won't be too happy with shrimp mix if you go that route...

          Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
          Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
          Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

                  I feed my Tang tank once a day and i feed them 3mm NLS Thera A mixed with Dianichi Supreme Color (or something like that). Then on the weekends i feed them once per day but i give them Mysis Shrimp and Brine Shrimp and my fish are very healthy and growing like crazy.

                  We need to see some pics of this tank.
                  If it ain't wild caught
                  You ain't doing it right

                        well, here was a pic of it when it was setup.

                        i have since moved them all to the 75g troph tank so i could get another 4ft troph tank.
                        theres a new rule for me, buy 1 sell another.

                          Not a bad rule.

                          No additional rule on length of possession?

                          Nice set-up by the way.

                            I've had this tank for over 3 years, i raised
                            my uromastyx and my first bearded
                            dragon in it.

                            I have repainted the stand, cleaned the tank up and it's the one being sold.

                            I want to upgrade and just have 4+ft tanks.
