New guy getting first fish today, what to feed?

[PacoPetty]

Picking up my first fish today which are a pair of black false percolate clownfish. To give them a varied diet I am going to feed these three foods. (I also plan on adding a Midas blenny and a diamond goby in the near future) Your opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you just have fish I wouldn't see the need in Coral frenzy..

Theres no need for variety, but it's good for the fish.

You've got a pretty good balance going. Once I have a few more fish in my tank I plan on start feeding fresh as well.
I currently feed LRS Reef Frenzy, Seachem Marine Flakes, and NewLife Spectrum pellets with a couple drops of Selcon.

I mix it all together and put them in the little jello-shot containers, then toss in the freezer. Took about 20 minutes to make a months worth of food, takes about 5 minutes to thaw with some RO water in a squirt bottle.

Good info!

As of now I only have the Omega One Marine pellets but I was curious as to what the general consensus might be.

Reef Frenzy is awesome. I switch it up between Reef Frenzy, PE Mysis, Prime Flakes, and sinking pellets.

I haven't heard of the Omega stuff before, but the garlic additive seems like it could be a plus. I occassionaly add a couple drops of Kent Marine Garlic plus or whatever to my food as well.

I've heard all kinds of good about the NewLife line, and I spent quite a bit of time researching before pulling the trigger. At the end of the day, the most important food for them will be the fresh/frozen as it has the most nutrients (from what I've read). The pellets and flakes are just a good additive to their diet so they get some variety, and they're cheaper than only feeding frozen/can be added to auto feeders.

I was going to add Kent Marine garlic and Selcon to their diets but after reading about and buying the Omega One pellets I don't know if it is needed.

I will eventually add a Zoa garden and a Hammer garden so that is why I was considering the Reef Frenzy.

You can feed all of those, the more variety the better. I feed omega one algae flakes, omega one freeze dried brine (not the best but the fish love it), San Francisco Bay frozen carnivore mix, San Francisco Bay frozen phyto and Hikari marine s pellets.

I feed those omega pellets as my only dry food. Everyone (except the bangai cardinal) loves them.

I also feed the lrs reef frenzy, hikari brine and mysis, and something like a carnivore collection as my frozen foods.

Should see if you can find some selcon additive, my fish really enjoy the food soaked in it couple times a week.

Make sure you don’t over feed them. A small pinch is all you need for some clownfish. But any of these foods would work

It's $14.78 on Amazon so I may order some.
