Best food for your fish

[canadianeh]

I have PE Mysis pellet and Garlic guard and Selcon. What are some best foods out there for fish to bring out their color? I will be welcoming a bonded pair of mocha storm clownfish soon and I want to be prepared.

Any food with "astaxanthin" will help bring out the reds and oranges. I have found that @Reef Nutrition's TDO Chroma BOOST is one of the best foods for bringing out the color in my clownfish. In fact, this is what many commercial breeders use.

Since these are captive raised fish you can take advantage of the fact that they have been fed dry pellet foods since they were very young. There are many types of high quality pellet foods for marine fish available that have a variety of natural color enhancers as well.

I have been using SA Hatchery Diet pellets and my fish looks healthy and colorful. I do feed different frozens too.

make your own food! Clams, Mussels Oysters and Nori. Place in food processor. Freeze in mini cube trays. Don't have a mini tray, then DIY it. Get lighting ceiling panel louvers and cut it to a usable size for your freezer. Use that to make and freeze your cubes.

I have used New Life Spectrum pellets with great success for years. They make a 'small fish version' that is 0.5 mm in size. Probably the right size for the small pair you are receiving.

These are their pictures. How can I tell if they can eat bigger pellet size?

That is interesting! In term of cost, is it cheaper to make your own, or to buy?

I like the idea of making it your own and you know what you put in it. I guess you buy everything frozen from groceries store right? No need to buy the fresh ones as you will end up freezing them. Did you put anything else in the mix such as selcon or garlic guard?

For the two fish alone, I guess 1/4 or 1/2 of the cube per serving or 1 cube for the whole day is enough?

If you’re in the US, I’d definitely recommend the LRS foods. All the fish I have go wild for it and I’ve noticed my corals are happier since I switched. They have a chunky style and a predator style that’d be good for your trigger. I’d use Nori sheets for the tang or macro algae that you can grow in your sump/fuge or buy. Don’t know about the Anthias personally, but many people use some kind of pellet in an auto feeder because they need to be fed so many times a day

AQUA SD sells it to locals, theres a bunch of places. Your best bet is to look at your LFS first then just google LRS fish food and find a place that ships .
