Fish Diet

[Riggins76]

I researched this topic a little on the internet but I couldn't find the exact answer to my question.

I have Clownfish, a Watchman Goby, and a Flame Hawkfish in my tank. Before I bought Mysis Shrimp (frozen) they were fine eating the pellets but I read several places that Mysis shrimp is just the "go to" for feeding fish. My question is do I need to switch my food up every day or every other day or switch it up at all? By that I mean is it perfectly acceptable to feed them Mysis shrimp for the rest of their lives or should I always supplement it with something else?

Any help would be appreciated.

I personally think a diverse diet would be best for most fish especially when you have omnivore species but I could also be wrong about that.

I have about 10 different foods I feed to my fish, I always alternate so that they have something new.

The general rule of thumb is feed enough that fish finishes in 3 mins.

I find pellets or flakes more nutritious than frozen based on its nutritional printout but that assumes the fish would take pellets or flakes.

I use frozen more as a treat.

For me, it is best to feed varied diet. I feed my fish 3 different kind of pellets , pre made frozen (LRS fish frenzy), mysis, fish eggs and brine shrimps. I have tangs, clowns, wrasses and goby and they are all fat and I believe healthy.

Thank you all for this helpful information. It appears to me that everyone just does variety and I think I will go get some different foods this evening.

Ya, I believe in variety and alternate flake, pellets, brine, mysis, roe and LRS fish frenzy. I soak all in Selcon, Vitachem and garlic extreme.

pick up some brine shrimp eggs while you are out, its super easy to hatch them (check out a few youtube videos), and your fish will love you for it, And plus, its fun to watch them dart out to grab a bite.
