Marine Foods

[OgreMkV]

Hi guys,

So, I've got two clowns (percula) now and growing variety of corals (including torch and trumpet).

My intention is to add a triplet of green banded gobies and a few more various corals.

I've got some frozen mysis for food. What else can/should I get? I've seen several interesting products (cyclop-eaze and formula one). Since I'll mainly have bottom fish, I'm thinking pellets. However, the reading on cyclop-eaze suggests that the flakes will breakup quickly and can be used by corals.

What I'm looking for is a well rounded diet that I can put into a weekly box (pill box from Walgreens) in case we have to go away for a while. Then they just open the box for the day, dump and go.

Suggestions and opinions on marine food products greatly appreciated.

It is unlikely the corals will particularly prefer cyclopeeze flakes. A better option is the frozen bar of cyclopeeze, which is much better and will very likely (almost certainly) be eaten by all inhabitants. Formula one and even two would work well. Clownfish have a relatively high percentage of algae in their diet anyway. Pellets would also be good. Look for some with extra vegetable content. I prefer Dainichi pellets, myself. In the end, diversity of foodstuffs is the key.

Start tring different foods to find out what it prefers. Mysid shrimp may be a good place to start.

There may be other issues with the fish itself. You may want to start another thread in detail so that it can get more attention.
