feeding

So I bought a 4 or so inch harlequin tusk - who is friendly - healthy and beautiful. He doesnt do any of the 'bad things' that they are supposed to do - he doesnt kill shrimp, snails, crabs, etc. However - he and his beautiful blue teeth when he expects to get fed - literally attack he will...

Hello! I have had 2 clowns, a royal gamma, and a purple firefish for about 4 months. 3 weeks ago I added a flameback angel and yellow coris wrasse. The tank schedule is that the original fish sleep until about when the lights come on at 12:30 pm (they must be teenagers) - and are up and...

Hey everyone! I just got my first saltwater fish yesterday (a beautiful firefish goby) and tried feeding him omega one marine pellets this morning and he just sort of watched them float by and wasn't too interested so I gave him a pinch of mysis shrimp out of curiosity and I was surprised to see...

hey yall, i got a light rose bubble tip anemone and a rock flower anemone hoping they split but havent had any luck 3 months now, was told people feed them directly trying to figure out what to feed them and how to feed them. i buy small cubes of mysis shrimp which i feed twice weekly and...

About 2 weeks ago I bought a snowflake eel from an LFS that had it eating krill just dropped into it's small tank (not from tongs or skewer). I introduced him into the tank and he has not eaten yet. At first I attributed it to getting accustomed to the tank and I did change my rock work a few...

Catalufa Soldierfish Banded Moray Snowflake Moray Flame Hawkfish I feed the Catalufa everyday and the eels every couple of days. The snowflake has gotten to the point where he won't leave me alone while feeding. Even after hes gorged himself. :)

Thanks to captive breeding efforts, hobbyists can keep seahorses in aquariums much more easily these days. We have it so much easier than keepers 10 years ago, who had to struggle through "figuring things out", work with wild caught seahorses and learn mostly through mistakes. Today, we can...

This may be normal, but it's the first time I've seen it. It looks like some Reef Roids was coming back out (last feeding was 8hrs prior). The suspected food has been taken in and protruded once again after the photo was taken. Can anyone confirm my suspicion and if this is normal behavior? Thanks!

SO today I got a mandarin in my nuvo 20 gallon tank and added some copepods from the trigger pods brand I was just wondering how long will it be till i have to add another batch as I am worried my boy will starve. He is doing fine and he has eaten a couple off the wall already , also if you have...

I have a Carpenter Flasher Wrasse in QT right now. He's eating LRS great right now. I've heard they need to be fed several times a day, which I'm doing right now but Later this year I won't be home to feed multiple times a day. If I have a healthy pod population do I need to feed multiple times...

Whether its 2 cubes in 1 feeding or 1 cube in each feeding in a day?

Help! I have two clownfish i bought a month ago. The larger female always takes the pellets i drop in while the smaller male gets nothing. I thought i would seperate then to feed them but then my make clownfish is so deprived if food he doesnt come out of his hidey hole(which is a small gap...

I have a new Midas Blenny that I just added to my display after a month in QT. He is super skittish and hides every time I walk by the tank. I am worried about him not getting enough food. In the QT it wasn't an issue for feeding because he had no competition. In my display though by the time...

Hello, I have seen some clownfish that are about 2 1/4 inches long and I have seen some that are about 1 1/4 inches long. What do the people feed and how often to get a clownfish grow to be 2 1/4 inches long?

what do y’all use to feed Fathead Dendro or do you know what works? I have nano reef roids and regular fish pellets. And will be picking up a single Dendro frag next week, what do you recommend. Thanks,John

So I am new to the saltwater tanks and have just started my tank with three blue/green chromis and two Ocellaris clownfish. I have had the chromis for about a month and the clown fish for about a week and a half. I have been feeding my chromis brine shrimp from day one, same food my lfs fed...

Hey all! I have a question that may be dumb but its something i need to know. So basically i have a green bubble tip in my tank that eats really quick! Ive only had it for 2 weeks so im pretty new to feeding nems. I feed it a small piece of shrimp every 3 days or so and every time i feed it i...

I have a 55 gallon FOWLR tank with two mated Occelaris clownfish and one extremely shy firefish goby, and it's been my dream to have a seahorse in there ever since. I'm getting some caulerpa prolifera Macro algae to put in there next week. I think I will have to feed a lot in order to give the...

I recently purchased two Firefish from my local shop. I am unsure if they are a mated pair - from what I have noticed thus far (they have been in the tank for about a day or so) they are very shy, which I expected, and have been slightly aggressive toward one another. However, the back of my...

I have two small, inch-long Ocellaris Clownfish. The food I have is New Life Spectrum Thera A+ Small Fish Formula A. Very miniscule pellets. So how many should I feed them? I've been feeding a small pinch, which is around 8-10 pellets once a day. Does that sound right?

Check this out! Just having Some fun with the Tank lol

Also, is this a bubble tip? He survived the phosphate crash, and was part of the 2nd rescue tank. Two clowns were with him, all fish in QT now. One of those clowns died. (white spots appeared on some fish, some died a few days later, some in QT, dosing Cupramine) So it's been about 10 days...

Hello, I saw my LFS feeding lettuce for their tangs. is this ok? I know they are hervs but lettuce?

Hey, I had saltwater setups in other states but recently set up a 150 here in AZ. I have bought and used the live "Reef Stew" sold in the LFS in the area and I was wondering how often others I the area add this to their tanks. Thanks
