Feeding your fish?

[Asbury030]

Hey guys I'm curious what you guys feed your fish...? I've been feeding my 2 snowflake clowns and long nose hawkfish new life spectrum .5mm pellets... as of lately they don't seems as excited to eat it... the food is fairly old. Should I get a new batch of it or try something new?

In the 45 I feed frozen mysis to my fish, in the 14 I feed Cobalt marine pellets and they go crazy for it.

I use pellets sometimes from two little fishies but basically feed frozen myasis, spironella, brine shrimp and nori

 

[XNavyDiver]

PE Mysis, both pellet and frozen, Rods.

NL there a pellets 2x's a day, fish eggs or reef plankton once a day alternating between the two, and a rotating mix of hilarious my sis, piscine my sis, and a homemade fresh seafood mix for another feeding or two.

I use

Feed about 3 pellets each every other day. They love it. It’s extremely soft and perfect size. Been feeding them it for about 6 months now. Has made their colors pop.

I also feed mysis shrimp like once every week or two weeks instead of pellets one day (used to have a nem which is why)

Morning: One cube from a rotation that includes Ocean Nutrition's formulae #1 and 2, capelin eggs, San Francisco Bay's SW variety pack, an angelfish formula or two, calanus and Cyclopeez, and; a piece broken off of a flat-pack of LRS Reef Frenzy, Herbivore Frenzy or Fish Frenzy or Rod's food (another rotation of these foods).

Noontime, if I come home: Mixed NLS and Ocean Nutrition pellets, along with contents from the sample-packs they hand out at reef shows, and a pinch of equally mixed flakes. Not a lot here, but something to chase and liven up the day.

Evening: Same as morning, but with Selcon.

On semi-random days, I'll open a littleneck clam from the freezer and clip it, along with a nori sheet, hanging in the middle of the tank and swinging in the current. On those days, the evening meal is optional, as the clam adds up to a lot of food for my gang.

thats a LOT of food!

Hikari frozen around 10 cubes in the evening and here and there some Hikari marine a and seaweed extreme pellets, they don't care it's a full on feeding frenzy once a day.

 

[Maritimer]

thats a LOT of food!

Split between a 220 gallon display and QT, but I may have to cut back a bit ... my starry blenny is beginning to lose her girlish figure . . .

~Bruce

P.S. - it should be noted that I don't feed _all_ of those flavors at each meal - One cube of one thing in rotation "A", and one chunk of similar size from rotation "B", per feeding!

my tailspot blenny lost her girlish figure with the turf algae outbreak. No cubes required

 

[lagatbezan]

I think the best is to try to offer a variety of different food.
My tank gets a full seaweed sheet in the mornings and at nights I alternate between nls pellets, prime reef flakes or a mixture of frozen mysis and reef frenzy.

 

[jeff williams]

None of my fish will eat pellets I mix one cube of brine shrimp or mysis with a half cube fish eggs add vitamins and garlic that will feed my 55 gal fw 60 gal sw and I sw qt for about 3 days

 

[Asbury030]

So I think the thing here is to give a variety of things... I will start mixing up for them so they don't get bored. Thank you everyone!

 

[DSC reef]

LRS reef frenzy, PE Cyclops, reef nutrition roe, Dr. G's reef cavier, PE mysis pellets and formula one pellets round out the the foods for our fish. Fish eggs daily x2, LRS nightly. Variety is key IMO

 

[XNavyDiver]

Looking for suggestions on a quality pellet food that works well in an auto feeder. Something that is a mixture of protein and veg matter and sinks well. All my fish are fairly small types, gobies, grammas, chromis, firefish, kole tang, square anthias... This is for "vacation" periods only, as we like to feed frozen stuff while at home, but it's nice to be prepared for those days where we're gone for a few days. Hit me with suggestions!

 

[DSC reef]

Ocean nutrition formula 1 and 2. Sinks quickly and will be a mix of omnivorous/herbivorous food source.

 

[eatbreakfast]

I'm a fan of New Life Spectrum Ther A. They have small fish pellets that are .5mm.

 

[DSC reef]

I'd also suggest PE mysis pellets but they don't sink very well but the fish go nuts for them.

LRS reef frenzy Nano and PE mysis.
