Vlamingis are great for that, but they get huge.

He's getting an upgrade from a 36" 40 breeder to a 50 gallon 48" length tank but yea he's going to need another home sooner then later.

Yea, I think I'll try to find another small one to train back into eating bubble algae.

How do you do that?  Can you train other tangs to do the same?

I definitely think you can and will be experimenting more soon. ALL of my fish go after the floating bubble algae, the tang just don't spit out.

But how do you actually train them to do it?  I'm ready to begin training, just don't know how!

It's more like starving them till they start eating it. Just don't feed as often. Still hit or miss on getting them to go for it.
