Can a yellow tang and a wrasse both large live off of quality flakes such as San Francisco Brand brine shrimp flakes, the real stuff, expensive and other better vegetable flakes such as Prime Reef brand?
I have problems getting frozen fish foods not available locally and 30.00 to ship on dry ice.

First video in a long time! My uploader is kind of funny. I have also decided to add the proper temps these fish should be kept at.
Fairy wrasse (equisite wrasse?): Fairy wrasses are somewhat small, elongated fish with stunning colors. The beauty of these fishes is only matched by their popularity.
Wrasses are all beatiful fish, but only a few can be kept in the standard reef tank. These fish are fairly peaceful and won’t bug the invertabrates and corals. A well-fitting cover is a neccesity, as these fish do like to jump.
The saltwater tank should be 30 gallons or more in size, and these fish should be fed a variety of flake and meaty foods, including occational feeder shrimp (Be careful when selecting feeder shrimp. Do not get sick shrimp!!!!). Keep the temperature between 72 and 78 degrees farinheit.
An interesting note: equisite wrasses color will sightly vary on their mood.
Sailfin tang: The little fish with enormus fins you see at the beginning are sailfin tangs. These fish are very popular, and are quite well known for their nice coloration. The most stunning feature about them is the ability to extend a dorsal fin that can be almost the same size as they are.
Because of their fondness for burst of swiftness, these fish would be best kept in saltwater aquariums 130 gallons or more. They are compatible with reef tanks, and most other fish.
Sailfin tangs can be a little misleading in their feeding habbits. They will eat all the meaty and flake foods with the others, but need filamentous algae to boost their immune system, reduce agression, and help them to have overall better health. Feed at least 3 times a week, and feed with dried seaweed (note: do not use the dried seaweed meant for human consumption! It has spices and different preservatives that are unhealthy for the fish). Tie the seaweed to the rock or use a veggie clip. It is agressive towards it’s own species.
How to feed filter feeding invertabrates: Filter feeding invertabrates have always been a pain to feed. Various methods work, but I recomend something along the linds of this:
Take your invertabrate food siloution, and pour suck up a bit into your turkey baster. Place the turkey baster UPSTREAM of the invert, and dribble it (don’t just blast it out in one long squeeze) towards the direction of the invert. Feet to satiation, but don’t feed too much.
What I recomend for invert food:
Two Little Fishies MarineSnow Plankton Diet
PhytoPlex Phytoplankton
ZooPlex Invertebrate Foods
Bottle Copeopods

If you have any more questions, feel free to send me a message. I’ll be glad to answer.
(IMPORTANT: A lot of people have been thinking these fish are mine. They aren’t! I’ve been videoing fish at the fish store so I can provide a video with each type of fish to cover. Remember, these aren’t my fish!)
