Fish Food Discussion

[Ben A]

Looking for peoples input on their preffered fish food and why. I personally feed almost exclussively frozen foods, of course nori for the tang, consisting of Hikari Mysis, prawn roe, cyclopeez (the last two becoming increasingly harder to find). I would be interested in people experiences with pellets, flakes, frozen mixed foods like rods or roggers (especially how you prefer to feed these mixs), and the chilled foods like arcti pods etc.

I feed my tank roggers and rod's food about 80% of the time and new life spectrum about 20%.  I do about a teaspoon of oyster feast every night after lights out for my corals which are all sps.

I'm lazy...they get pellets every day, 2times a day with theauto feeder...and a few times a week I'll give them some frozen...and I have a lazy tang who does not eat any kind of algae unless he picks it off the rocks,lol

I mix my feeding up religiously. I alternate between live brine and blackworms (They get one or the other daily) and for other feedings I alternate with new life spectrum pellets, frozen mussels, PE Mysis, cyclopeez, Ova, and Nori/grape caulerpa. Suprisingly 85% of my fish eat the caulerpa to include chromis, purple firefish, and bi-color blenny.

Live blackworms, clams.  That's all I need

LRS Reef Frenzy make up the bulk for me. I usually add a cube of mysis or brine and/or some cyclopeeze or nutrimar ova. On special occasions I buy a portion of blackworms which are good for about a week.

I stop off at Asian super market and pick up orange or red sushi roe at H-Mart on 10780 Fairfax Blvd, Fairfax VA. Across from Merrifield garden center. (Look in the back of the store)

 

Its highly nutritious and the fish go bezerk the moment I drop it in the tank. I figure that on a reef, fish eggs are the most favored food

 

Also, use blood worms, some flakes and Ocean Nutrition Formula One pellets.

Lack of time to prepare frozen means I feed mostly dry, Oceans Nutrition Reef Flakes or NLS pellets. Every 3rd or 4th day, I feed frozen, either PEMysis or Jans. All of my fish go crazy for all except my juvie bangaii from Sharkey. He/She still prefers mysis.

Riggers, PE Mysid and a mix variety of other frozen foods. Once in awhile we treat them to live brine, mysid etc

I have been using Scott's most of the time. I let it thaw and squished out as much fluid as I could, then squashed small amounts into the wells on a ice cube tray that has small round wells with soft rubber bottoms, so I can push on the bottoms to pop out the pieces. They are very dense, basically no liquid going into the tank, just bits.  Works quite nicely.

Ever since I read that Hale on Tangs can be prevented with by feeding a variety of food, I try to feed as many different types as possible. The Hale on my sail fin seems to be better, certainly stop getting worse. Powder blue is Hale free.

 

I use new spectrum pellets, reef flakes; freeze dried phytoplankton, krill and tuberflex worms. When I can get them, live blood worms.

 

Recently got a fighting conch, wondering what I should feed it, if at all.

 

Oh, I do occasionally feed my maroon clown fresh bood from my finger

220 gal with a bunch of tangs:

Ocean Nutrition Two Pellets both Medium and Small (turns the skimmer waste green)

Omega One Marine flakes with garlic

Frozen Mysis or brine, whatever I have in stock

Seaweed sheets from the global food stores (same thing that comes in the green box from the LFS but much cheaper) 

[gmerek2]

Spinach when we have it (tangs) and also black worms. It's important to feed a live squiggler every now and then. Keeps em happy
