What do you feed your Torch?

[BantyRooster97]

Just bought an Aussie gold torch & a bi-color torch. Just wondering what everyone feeds theirs? I have a small hammer and a frogspawn and I spot feed them brine shrimp on occasion, when I am feeding the rest of the tank & they seem to respond well.

I have some and feed them lrs reef frenzy
Really loves it also mix a little reef chilli in it as well. Any pics of your torch?

PE mysis and reef frenzy. I rarely spot feed, but they respond when I feed my fish and get a few here and there.

We just got a Metallic green Torch & 2 of it heads are empty. Does that mean something is wrong? It's just white in it.

I agree with above I don't feed everyday just on Sunday. For me it's more just making sure it's healthy and acting normal.

 

[BantyRooster97]

thanks, gonna have to look into reef frenzy. Didn't figure I needed to feed everyday, but at least some.

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

Every 3 days is good for spot feeding in my book if go that route. Now that I've got a shallow tank I may make it more of a priority. Was just a pain to feed 24" deep with everything wanting a piece of it on the way. Lol

Anyone use Rods? Seems to be a similar type of food.

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

I have used both Rods and LRS when I was trying to find a quality food for my fish and coral that they seemed to like. I have found in my experience a better feeding response and less waste when I use LRS. Just my personal opinion.

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

Funny you mention it though, I actually fed Rods tonight as I still have some.

 

[BantyRooster97]

Is there anything more driven to euphyllia? These are supposed to be whole tank foods. I already know my purple tang is kind of picky. I've had him for almost 5 years & he doesn't really like foods that are all ground up.

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

There are pellet forms of food specifically for lps that they may enjoy.

 

[BantyRooster97]

examples? I've seen reef roids but it doesn't mention this type of coral.

 

[ReeferMaddness843]

Fauna Marin and Coral Frenzy are two that come to mind

 

[BantyRooster97]

coral fenzy, I've seen that one. Guess I'll read up a little.

I feed mine a mixture of chopped up brine shrimp and reef roids. It's growing like a weed.

I feed my torches mysis and selcon mixture , once every 2 weeks , good flow and lighting help them thrive the most

 

[Katie Wing]

Do you feed yours with a syringe of sorts as well as a few others I've been following?

I feed my fish LRS Reef Frenzy and the leftover smaller stuff gets broadcasted all over my tank. So they must all get a little something every other day.

Yes I do , I only feed at night though ,it's way easier when the fish are asleep , I shut the pumps off and hit each head , they are slow eaters and it takes a while to hit each mouth
