new fish...


hey everyone...

i've been trying to find out additional information about some of my new fish and it's really hard to come by. my LFS is really competent and i trust him, but i just wanted some extra opinions as well. since i have no literature available to me (other than the internet and you guys) and i've seen some of the fish pictures you guys have, i had a few questions:

1. i have a blue surgeon (a.k.a. hippo tang, blue tang, etc, etc...) and he seems to be doing very well. he is grazing on the rocks in the tank, but i was wondering if there is anyway to entice him to try some of the dried marine algae i put in the tank? he just doesn't seem interested in that although i did get him to eat some brine shrimp last night.

2. my lawnmower blenny doesn't appear to be interested in any other type of food except microalgae growing on the rock (which there is an adequate supply). do i need to try to supplement his diet with anything else..if so, what?

3. i have a banded sleeper goby (banded or banded bullet goby) and he is sifting sand like he should. is there anyway to get him to eat supplemental food in addition to what he gets from the sand or is that nutrition adequate?

these aren't really problems as the fish are eating. i was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on supplemental foods i might try other than nori, squid, mysis shrimp, and enriched brine shrimp.
