My first fish to get my tank going will be two yellow tail damsels. However, the Dr. Fosters suggests that I feed them mysis shrimp. Does anyone know if brine shrimp work just as well? Also, does it have to be fresh frozen or can it be freeze dried? My preference would be flakes of some sort, like Ocean Nutrition Formula 2 which I can load into an autofeeder.

Anyone have any experience with feeding these guys?

These are pigs and will eat anything, a mixture of high qulity flake and mixed frozen would work well, skip the brine its not great nutritionally
