So did it help?

 

[Reefrookie]

Are you using vitamins with your food,? When I started soaking vitamins with the food , I saw a big difference in color. You might try New Life Spectrum pellets also soaked with vitamins

Tangs also like a lot of veggies in their diet. What are you feeding it?

 

[dcantucson]

Definitely begin supplementing it's food with vitamins. That should help. Tangs will vary in color too.

I had been soaking the food in vitamins but have not been doing it as often that must be why its loosing its color I will start to do it again tomorrow once the lights are up.. I feed alot of the green and red marine algae sheets more then the flakes so I will have to start up on that again.. thanks

Just feed plenty of vegetable matter and he should turn back to his maroon self. If he wont eat dried seaweed then feed him spirulina flakes.

Here is mine. He`s 8 yrs old this month.

I'm very sorry to hear that. :( Losing one of our fish can feel like losing one of our friends.

I`m very sorry to hear that. How about posting some water test results so we can rule that out . Also you did not see anything on him that resembled salt sprinkles on him did you?

 

[ltljoker]

Sorry for your loss. hope you can figure out what went wrong:shock:
