Fish Diet

[mjreefs]

Just curious, what do you feed your fish? Current tank has angelfish, tangs, a foxface, a pair of clowns, and would have a valentini puffer (hopefully). I currently feed mine the following:

Autofeeder 1: (primarily for the larger fish; NLS 1mm pellets are HUGE compared to other 1mm pellets)
1mm NLS Marine pellets
1mm NLS Algaemax pellets
2mm PE Mysis pellets

Autofeeder 2: (primarily for the smaller fish)
1mm Aquaforest Protein Power
1mm PE Mysis pellets

Autofeeders are set to feed 4x a day

I would also feed nori sheets on two sides of the tank, that would be equivalent to 1/2 sheet of nori per day. I also would sometimes throw in frozen omnivore and herbivore formula made by one of our local reefers and frozen mysis with 1 drop of Aquaforest Fish V (as a treat; sorry, can't get selcon).

Once i can secure a puffer, I plan to add frozen clams on a half shell once every week just to grind the puffer's teeth.

Anything else I could add to the mix? (Sorry, no LRS here) Thanks!

4x a day with an autofeeder sounds like a recipe for disaster to me (over feeding the heck out of a tank). For me the general routine is:

1x a day small piece of dry seaweed/nori
2x a day small feeding (about a 1/8-1/4 inch cube) of LRS Reef Frenzy

That's it. I have the following:

One Spot Foxface
Coral Beauty Dwarf Angel
Melanurus Wrasse
Blue Star Leopard Wrasse
Pajama Cardinalfish

2 Saltwater acclimated Black Mollies for algae control purposes

Well, I don't think I'm overfeeding with my autofeeder. With a 5" annularis, 5" foxface, 5" mustard tang, 4" blue tang, 4" PBT, 4" purple tang, 3-4" HYT, 3-4" scribbled angelfish, 3" flame angelfish, 2-3" multicolor angelfish, and 2-3" pair clownfish in my tank, sometime I think I'm underfeeding when no one's feeding the frozen food. The autofeeder dispenses 1/2-3/4 tbsp of food per cycle, which are immediately consumed by all the fish.

Hi! I feed mine frozen Mysis, two cubes a day. Occasionally fish eggs and two sheets of seaweed a day. I never feed pellets. I have 13 Wrasses, six of them are leopards, a purple tang, flame angel, Lamarck angel, Midas Blenny, and flame tail Blenny. 200 gallon tank. My Wrasses love seaweed more than the Angel fish and tang..lol...

i do a tiny pinch of pellets in the morning, options being NLS, PE mysis, NYOS goji, and NYOS algae. the nyos ones only the wrasses like for the most part. clowns seem semi ok with the goji ones. i do have some of those TDO pellets en route today so we'll see how the fish like those

then i thaw out 1 cube of: LRS, cobalt megamarine or something, hikari mysis, some hikari greenish food probably spirulina. i also have some cubes of cyclops and something else tiny, i think only the anthias digs when i feed those. then i feed that cube at least twice throughout the day or preferably several times.

coral wise i do a mix of reef roids and cobalt coral food for spot feeding, maybe once a week. then i have some tropic marin zooplankton and phytoplankton and coral snow that i can broadcast feed, i do that maybe once a week
