Everyone's favorite fishfood!

What is everyone's favorite fish food? I've always liked NLS. Has anyone tried bulk reef supply?

I like my homemade mix best. After that it's frozen food. After that, probably PE Mysis pellets.

That's something I've always wanted to try my hand out at? How do you do it?

TDO Chroma Boost from reef nutrition

+1 on home made food. It's the cheapest and healthiest!

My fish seem to like lrs reef frenzy the best!

I’ve been using a combination of frozen Rods food and Hikari. May try LRS frozen

I’m a big fan of Rods and PE mysid and always wanted to try making my own, but now feeding LRS and it is kinda amazing. It def smells like fresh seafood and the fish are now very partial to it.

I follow the recipe from Wittenrich’s Breeder’s Guide, and like any semi competent chef, change the recipe according to the eater’s preferences!

My fish LOVE this stuff

mine too. and my corals.
I feed alternating nights.
mysis, brine, blood worms
R.O.E.
haven't had a fish yet that turns it down.

Here is a thought. Tell me if it’s substantial or just untrue.. making your own frozen fish food.. is it possibly releasing things in your tank that manufactures avoid by sterilizing.. annnd do pellets have more dense protein so you don’t need to feed as much and pollute the tank as much??

I feed san francisco bay saltwater multipack, and ocean nutrition flakes. Everyone eats like little pigs.

As others have mentioned, I tend to make my own mixes or just use the same seafood that I eat (i.e. wild salmon, scallops. etc). My fish and corals show a great feeding response with these mixes and gulp chunks down. I also give some PE and regular mysis on a rotating basis. Got to have a balance and some seafood is not year round. In the 11 years of doing this (my own mixes), I have never had an issue and if anything my fish and corals look better. Never had an issue with pollution either (I am on top of my parameters regardless).

Look at this yuma eating this large chunk of wild halibut and notice the smile afterwards. Never see this reaction with no regular mysis.

Okay that’s great info. Thank you I’ll give it a shot

You fish/corals will love you. Now, keep in mind some corals will not go for anything (my hammers/frogspawn for example). But if you have yuma's, fat head dendros, blasto's, acans or any other LPS, give them chunks the size of a green pea. I tend to use a turkey baster to deliver them their dinner. Especially since the clowns never want to stop eating haha. Anything I don't use i just throw in the freezer and defrost some chunks when it is feeding time.
