I have 2 clowns, 1 fire fish, 1 chromis, 1 royal gramma and 1 yellow clown goby in my 29. I cut about half a block of mysis and 1/4 of brine, soak in Kent garlic extreme, then add some tank water to thaw it out, mix it up and feed. But the only eat for about 20 seconds, two little pours into the tank and they are pretty much done eating. Is this normal?
 
Ya just need to feed them what they will eat. You could try and feed em twice a day if you wanted to. If they were hungry, they'd eat more. Try not soaking the food, see if they eat more. Ya got some small fish, they aren't going to gobble down a ton of food.
 
Are they having any problems eating the mysis? Being that mysis is a little bigger you could try switching to spirulina brine shrimp.
