Not gonna lie, I have seen thousands of videos related to this hobby, both in spanish and english. But this is so far the best channel! I love this asian looking guy with a doctor's coat, and tons of knowloadge. Jeez!
I have 13 tangs with the oldest one being a 10” Desjardini. I have a 6yr old Achilles and a 7yr old Whitetail tang & four 5yr old Yellow tangs. I feed them Nori as well as mysis shrimp and LRS herbivore frozen food. I also add Benepets pellets and TDO Chroma boost 1-2x/week.
If they take to it, great! In my past experience the tangs I have had would eat it, but always preferred the less rigid algae. (Pom pom, dragons breath, etc.) -Blaine
Early in my IT career I used to make things sound complicated. I was under the false impression that people would think I was smart if I used the industry jargon and niche words. I grew out of that. The reality is that you're a poor communicator if your audience struggles to understand you. This guy goes out of his way to be hard to understand. "A tang is unable to get nutrition if it's availability of forage is interrupted or substituted with something of a different composition" is not academic. It's not effective communication. It's not impressive. If Taras just said, "Tangs need algae just like cows need grass. Their bodies aren't designed for digesting anything else" he'd nail it. You guys would be contributing so much more to the hobby if he would stop this. I don't mean to be a hater. I think if Taras took feedback like mine and grew from it he could be a leader in the hobby.
Good video, but it would've been interesting. If you would've talked a little bit about good captive diets maybe had to prevent lateral line disease, stuff like that but good video.
I found out my tangs and foxface love eating caulerpa lentillifera. So i ordered some human food grade farmed caulerpa lenti to feed my tangs. I will grow it and use it as natural food
One little mistake I made feeding whole caulerpa. It's best to remove the blades off the long stems. Especially if they're juveniles. I lost a 4" Naso and a 3" clown tang this way. Seemingly caught in their digestive tract. Clown tang had undigested stem hanging out of him when i found him dead. Now I remove stems even for my adults. They also love red Graciliara. No trimming required. ;)
@@KenCherubini blades on the stem?? Oh damn ok. Mine is farmed and shipped to me and meant for me to eat right away so im guessing there wont be any of those ‘blades’? But im planning to grow it in my lagoon and pluck off somw to feed, so i can make sure i only give them the bubbly parts

Sounds like a great diet to me for all of them! Long lasting and healthy tangs is what we love to see! Keep it up, and thanks for tuning in!

Love when you are able to find a new and healthy snack for your fish friends! Well done!
