how much do Naso's need to eat?

[KyleinCT]

I have a 3" naso tang in my fish only tank. He is skinny since I picked him up a few weeks back I feed him plenty of nori, flake and meaty stuff. Do these need more than other tangs?

Alot, IME they need alot more food than other tangs

veggies too right?

Happened to me twice. Did great for a few weeks, ate like pigs, then kind thinned out and persihed. Kind of hit or miss IMO with these fish.

I may try again someday.

my naso eats like a pig has for the 5 yrs I have had him
came to me very sick and undernourished
he eats flake morning noon and night
nori always available
cheato whenever available I hang it inthe tank
goo mix every night
mysis eveyother night
yes I WAY overfeed my tank but everyone is healthy
this last 2 months with the 120 offline has been stressful as I wa very lightly feeding and my naso nad whiltecheek both lost weight
hopefully they will pack it back on in the next month or so
