Vitamins to add to fish food?

[happysalt]

i have begun making my own fish food recently as I wanted to give it a shot. I’ve been mixing fish eggs, mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, garlic guard, and a few medications all just frozen In small cubes and then thawed out for feeding time. Does anyone have any recommendations for easy to add multivitamins I can add to my next batch?

What medications are you adding with your food? Are you using medications if your livestock isn’t showing signs of bacterial or viral issues?
Vitamin C is a good choice...there are good multivitamin and mineral/ trace elements in liquid form you could soak your food in Brightwell, Kent and Seachem to name a few.
Do you have corals and inverts?
Oyster feast, Reef Roids, Coral Frenzy and phytoplex are great options if you do have corals.

I have a medicated batch for new additions in QT but in general food I don't. I feed reef roids and reef chilli seperately 3 times per week. I was just wondering for my fish's sake to make sure they are getting everything they can!

You seem to be on the right track.. obviously, different fish require different food stuff or in greater quantities. For example, Tangs require a higher content of vegetal foods, whereas Groupers Require a significantly higher staple of foods containing large amounts of protein.

Do you create frozen vegetable foods?

When I feed I put in two cubes of frozen mysis mix, ground up seaweed, fish flakes.

Selcon is probably the easiest to add and it covers your vitamin C and fatty acids.

Started using Selcon about two years ago ... noticed improvement in appetite and activity within a few days, maybe just lucky ... but no disease outbreaks since. Easy to use! Always get another bottle when down to half because I just don't want to be without it!

+1 Vitachem, great for fish and corals and not quite as hard on skimmer as selcon, and doesnt cloud the water

Thinking of trying it myself. Did you notice any changes/improvements to your livestock?
