Ok I've been told mysis has more nutritional value but I will buy vitamin enriched brine after they hopefully eat my mysis. It comes in little cubes you think I should feed them the whole thing at once?
They are. Brine shrimp are often referred to as "Popcorn". To us, Popcorn is Great. But has little to no nutritional value. Brine shrimp is pretty much the same. Vitamin enriched kind of helps with that. Some are even gut loaded and good for quickly filling the fish. Brine are a really good way to get a picky eater to get use to food being served the way you serve it. Eventually, They just start going after the food right off the bat thinking its the yummy brine. That will help adjust them to eating brine. My Black ice only ate pellets when I got her almost a year ago. Now, she eats anything that hits the water. LOL
As for how much to feed. I thaw my little cube in RO Fresh water. Than I poor out the "Waste" Water into a Fine Mess net. I than place the food of choice back into the container and fill it with some tank water. Often times the water the cubes are frozen in have nitrates & Phosphates in them that can lead to some serious algae issues. Especially in such a small tank. I only feed a little bit. Enough so that each fish gets a nice full belly. Than, the rest goes into my fridge until my next feeding.

I haven't entirely perfected it myself(Everyday we learn something new). I am sure others will chime in and help more. But I have learned enough from my own mistakes so that I can share it with you.

What's better than a high-res picture? A video with background music! Check it out gais.

I love clowns, the way they swim the way they eat just everything about them. True percs are my favorite as you can tell but I also love ocellaris, any ORA, and I will get a pink or orange skunk in the future(not in this tank). When I eventually upgrade to a 50-100g I will add my current pair to it but they're doing great in the 14g for now.
