Help!!Marine fishes refuse to eat

[maxz]

Hi everyone,
Two day ago I bought one Naso(Lipstick)
fish and a yellow tang.And till today, they still refuse to eat after I tried to feed them with lettuce or frozen shrimp.But they seem veri healthy and swimming around the tank happily..Is this a normal sign or will they start to eat after a few more days..Any advises??

Tangs are usually voracious eaters ... at least, mine were. You might want to try to start them off on live foods - live brine shrimp maybe.

Good luck!

nice to see u back, mark... my naso and tang dun have that problem..however, initially, they refuse to feed too.. but just leave the lettuce in the tank.. eventually, they will eat once they are hungry.. alternatively, try feeding with brine shrimps first to start them off..
the reason why they dun feed could be due to water perimeters.. tangs are very sensitive to changes.. or could be it that they are still adjusting to the environment.. give it a couple of days to see how.. in the wild, they can dun feed for a few days.. so.. no worries now..till a couple of days later..[]
