How about Nori (the stuff used in sushi)? You can get it in A4 size sheets at Woolworths and Pick n' Pay... I have four wild caught convicts, and the first time I put the nori in the tank they went absolutely stupid for the stuff.
And the Convicts..are they also going for the Cheato...?haha as soon as i put the chaeto in, the YT and scopa munched it hard! NOM! NOM! NOM!!
I thought you where asking about the Cheato for the Convicts...sorry my mistake...i have a proclem though. i got me 2 convicts as well, theyre not eating. starting to get a bit thin. any tricks on how to get convicts onto flake? ive never have a problem with a convict in my entire life, so confused here
Convict TangFeeding Convict Tang
The Convict tang is an herbivore fish that feeds on benthic algae in the wild. Benthic algae are algae that grow on the bottom of the sea. The Convict tang plays important roles in the ecosystem as it helps preventing corals from getting overgrown with algae. Convict tang should be feed mainly vegetable matter in the aquarium, but a little meaty food in their diet is good as that provides them with precious proteins. Never feed them to much meaty food as their bodies weren't developed to handle protein rich food. Meaty food once every two days is enough. Suitable vegetable food includes spirulina, zucchini, broccoli, leaf lettuce, and dried seaweed. Suitable meaty food includes fine chopped sea food, mysis shrimp and brine shrimp. Feed your convict tang at least 3 times a day.
It is beneficial if the aquarium has prolific marine algae growth for the fish to graze on in between meals.
