Feeding feather dusters

Tyler Flynn · Mar 15, 2018

been doing some research on feather dusters and am wondering what can be fed to them for optimal nutrition?

Back when I had my large one, I would dose Phyto (I think it was phyto at least) into my tank once or twice a week.

Live phyto? Looking for brand and product names as well if you know them.

Back when I had mine I would feed live phyto, there was no brand for that as my LFS had their own for sale. But I would also periodically add some https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/seachem-reef-phytoplankton into my tank. Keep in mind though depending on your species of feather duster it will require different sized foods.

I've found DT 's to be really effective. DT is now Sustainable aquatics apparently.

Phyto feast from reef nutrition.
Phytoplan fro two little fishies
Live Phyto from algae barn.
Phycopure from Alagen.

Each of those companies is top notch and has a number of options.

Some frozen foods are also formulated to have good stuff in them as well.

Spirulina flakes are also benificial.

I like to rotate my foods.
