My little ecosystem has some picky eaters. So far, I have 6 fish in my 90-gallon and they all seem to want to eat something different. Here's what I have and what they eat:
LFS Clown (4.5 months in tank) - He goes nuts for pellets, but will eat a bit of frozen mysis. hates seaweed extreme
LFS Gladiator Clown (4 months in tank) - He loves pellets and has started to love mysis
BIOTA Yellow Tang (3 months in tank) - total pig... eats everything... eats algae all day
BIOTA Royal Gramma (3 months in tank) - total pig... eats everything
Dr. Reef Orange Spotted Blenny (11 days) - Loves mysis, but that's about it. I haven't seen him eat any algae yet
Dr. Reef Bengaii Cardinalfish (11 days) - looks at pellets with distain and will only eat mysis
2 on the way from Dr. Reef - Red Head Solon Wrasse and Sptingeri Damsel
Here's what we're serving:
Dry: TDO Chroma Boost, Seaweed Extreme, DKI Marine - I have some Masstick 14 but only tried it once, Nori has been unsuccessful due to fish fear of the Gourmet Gadget Grazer
Frozen: Hikari Spurlina Mysis, Piscine Energetics Canadian Mysis (some of these are HUGE), Thinking of adding frozen brine shrimp
Supplements a few times per week: Kent Marine Garlic Extreme, Kent Marine Zoe
Feeding Cycle:
I find myself feeding a mix of pellets first, then (after the pellets are gone) adding in some mysis for the new guys.
I feed once per day, which I think will have to change. I have an automatic feeder, but haven't tried it. I may start autofeeding pellets in the early afternoon and then frozen food in the evening.
This is long-winded, but here are my questions:
1. Is there anything missing from the diet that I should address?
2. Will the new guys come around on pellets? I hate the idea of only feeding pellets for a few days and forcing them to eat...
