Only eats mysis shrimp

[Justin poirier]

Is it bad that my fish even my tangs want to mainly eat mysis. When I put a sheet of seaweed in my tang and damsel will eat both. My maroon clown shows no interests my gobys will eat both is there any issue with that if so how should I try and change it up. I don't wanna take that food away. But is there any other food that has multiple meaty stuff in it. I'll continue feeding the sheet every other day of sea weed.

PE my sis is what I exclusively feed. Depends on your system, and availability of macro/algae for herbi/omnivores to eat.

My clowns and six line have no interest in nori. They actually don't really care for frozen mysis and would prefer me feed them PE mysis pellets. The tang ignores pellets, but will eat frozen Mysis, devours seaweed flakes and loves his nori clip. I feed a few flakes and pellets at the same time I use 1 sheet of nori a day. When I first got my tang it was very thin and I put in a sheet any time I saw it empty.

I just recently made my own frozen fish food with fresh ingredients from the grocery store. Cod fillet, scallops, shrimp and oysters, chopped them up fine, blended some of it and left some finely chopped. Froze it flat in a zipper baggy and I break off a chunk and feed the fish. They all go nuts over it, even my clowns that spit out mysis, and it didn't cost much for the amount of food I actually got. I even feed my BTA the same frozen, I'll just grab a little chunk with the tongs and set it on the tentacles. It'll grab hold and pull it in.

The maroon doesn't need seaweed.

All fish benefit from a varied diet. So getting another type of frozen will help. Some brands like LRS, Jimbo's Gumbo, and Rod's use a variety of seafoods in their recipes.

^^^^^This. I feed Hikari mysis, PE mysis, LRS, blood worms, nori and occasionally NLS pellets. Most of my wrasses eat all of that...a couple of the Halichoeres don't eat the nori. Even my CBB will eat a little nori if it's in my hand.

Variety is the spice of life....and is healthy as well.

I usually always feed a sea weed cube and mysis cube. Watching them eat is my favorite part. Everything except my clown will eat the sea weed. Even my scooter blenny I watched yesterday who usually just feeds on copapods he's eating the mysis. But I think like you said I might add a few blood worms I have a few of those. But I think I'll start getting more of a variety pack of frozen. Frozen is by far there favorite when I put a sheet in usually only my tang cares for that. But when I use the frozen sea weed they all eat it
