Guidance with Dwarf Angel Food.

Tahoe61 · Nov 30, 2015

Having not been in the fish world a for awhile I need some assistance regarding specific type foods for Angels.

This is a very young Coral Beauty/Centropyge bispinosus, healthy eater, active and colorful. I feed a slurry of flakes, pellets, frozen omni/herbivore frozen with some mysis mixture. Also finely chopped Nori.

What foods are you feeding your Dwarf Angels, does it contain any marine sponges......It seems like a perfectly active Dwarf Angel can survive off most food types but eventually succumb to nutritional deficiencies.

your doing fine. I also give my cb freeze dried blackworms. all my fish love them. live would be better, but I can't handle keeping them.

+1 I'm also a fan of this stuff: http://www.petsolutions.com/C/Frozen-Fish-Food/I/San-Francisco-Bay-Frozen-Angel-Butterfly.aspx

I've gotten many finicky angels & butterflies to eat using both of the above products.

Clam on the half shell may sometimes help but extra emphasis on live blackworms.

Thanks you all for the responses regarding the topic.

I took a risk adding any Angel to an sps with clam tank, I am trying to cover my bases.

Again thanks for the replies.

To add ---

Currently have 4 dwarfs (( C. venustus, Coral Beauty, Flame, and Flameback )), and they are currently only getting Spectrum Pellets*. In the past they would also eat LifeLine's herbivore mix, Rod's Food (( 3 different types )), PE Mysis, and a few others I am forgetting.

* === fish are currently at my future mother-in-laws as we move/build a new house. We are not leaving there yet, so pellets is the easiest thing for her to fed them with, that will change when we move in in a couple of weeks.
