Fish diet questions

[Peli45]

I am creating a 55g soon, and I am wondering what to feed my fish

The plan is to feed mysis shrimp to :
Coral beauty angel
2x anonymous clowns
Yellow watchman goby
6 line wrasse

I also plan to have a lawnmower blenny, but I have no Idea what to feed him. Any ideas?

I feed all my fish a mix of frozen and pellet as well as nori on a clip...this includes my goby.

IMO fish should have variety - it is what they would have in the wild.

Make sure to get a lawnmower blenny you actually see eat something at LFS before you bring it home.

Your/my lawnmower blenny wants algae from the glass. If you are lucky, then it might eat other things. Mine has zero interest in dry nori or fresh macroalgaes my tangs love (pom pom, red ogo). For a while I was very concerned I'd lose my lawnmower, so I let my glass go terribly unscraped (family HATED tank during that phase...) Eventually (weeks/months) he ate black worms. Then eventually (more weeks/months) he eats the chunkier LFS Reef Frenzy, spirulina mysis, and other thawed foods. Still no eating of other algae types than glass algae...

My lawnmower still prefers the algae on my glass so I restrict scraping to just front glass and try not to do sides. He doesn't like when I scrape the front glass and tries to get in my way. He is a sweet, gentle fish we've named Muppet.

My variety of fish get below as well as other foods as well as cultured pods:

raising tig pods - tiny 2.5g tank experimental culture #2

2nd attempt at raising tig pods is officially underway. Original attempt was outdoor lazy banana leaf method I found online - that is still underway but seems to be failing. Suspect Texas temperature and full day direct sunshine is too much, but that pod culture experiment still underway. 2nd...

+1 on needing a varied diet. I tend to like things like ocean nutrition prime reef flakes and hikari seaweed pellets for this reason. I also feed brine shrimp more or less as a treat every now and then
