Feeding saltwater fish?

[NoahLikesFish]

Ok so I did some googling and im not sure what to feed my saltwater fish. What I’m thinking is reef frenzy (how long would the 8oz last in a 20 long), chopped market shrimp, mysis shrimp, pellets (NLS), and spiralina fluval bug bites

Of course I’d probably not buy them all at once. I’d probably get nls pellet and use chopped shrimp and flake 1st then when I save up I will get Mysis and lrs

I only use LRS Nano Frenzy to feed a tang, two clowns, and a cherub. I feed 2-3x per day and the bag lasts me at least a month. I'm sure it would last even longer for you since my tang is really who eats most of it.

Oh ok. Does the lrs have so much different foods that you don’t need a diversity of them?

I alternate, one day reef frenzy, the next day pellets. They get baby brine shrimp when I set it up, usually once or twice a week. Baby brine shrimp is easy, cheap, live food, and its a nice occassional treat for your fish, check it out.

You definitely need to mix up their feeding. Dry food (pellets) one day and frozen food (usually mysis) the next day.

Just look at the ingredients list, it has quite a wide variety of food. If you want to do live food I would recommend that as well. You can feed whatever variety of food you want but you'll see everyone does something different.

I always try to feed a variety of food. I mostly feed NLS pellets, frozen brine, frozen mysis, flake food (I've used a few different brands), live white worms, nori, and occasionally mussel or clam from the grocery store. The only one of those that the fish get daily is the pellets because I recently setup an autofeeder with them.
I'm considering making my own diy fish food, but I haven't yet.
