Feeding mostly mysis?

[calebthetanker]

I have a tank with 2 tangs, 3 lyre tail anthias and 2 clowns. Is it okay to feed mostly mysis shrimp with like a meal per day containing something else? There’s also a sheet of nori always in the tank I forgot to mention.

The anthias need more than mysis and mysis shouldn't be the main food source for tangs

That’s what I do , you should add something like vitamins , selcon to the mysis and supplement with some pellets

What else should I add to their diet?

I wish someone would tell my anthias that. Mysis is pretty much all they will touch.

Hikari makes a spirulina mysis that most things will eat, and adds a little roughage for the tangs. I also feed Hikari seaweed extreme pellets for the tangs. I opt not to feed nori, since I've noticed that my tang gang grazes on the rocks more and keeps them cleaner, without the nori present to graze on. But, if you don't have any algae on the rocks at all, then feeding nori makes sense.
