What to feed clownfish?
I picked up a pair of captive bred clowns from OA yesterday, and I forgot to ask a vital question...What the heck do I feed these guys?
I've got:
Your thoughts? |
They will eat just about anything in my experience. I feed mine a mixture of homemade goop that contains lots of meaty stuff as well as nori, formula 1 and 2 flakes, cyclopeeze, garlic and selcon. They also readily accept mysis shrimp, which I believe is much more nutritious than brine. From what I have read brine shrimp, unless live or somehow gut loaded are sort of like popcorn - good to eat but does absolutely nothing for you nutritionally.

Ditto. They eat anything.

Interesting...They just turned down seaweed flakes. Now, keep in mind this isn't a "flake" food, it's just dried seaweed.
Methinks I'll go buy a pack of frozen mysis shrimp later on. |
Matt when I feed mysis shrimp I thaw out the little cubes on a piece of paper towel and then rinse it in RODI water before mixing with some tank water to feed. I have read that there may be phosphates and other preservatives that they use when freezing this stuff that can build up in your tank over time. I don't know if it's true but why take a chance.

My clowns will eat anything I throw at them except for sea veggies!!!!
|
I also supplement mine with some cyclop-eeze flakes for good coloration.
|
Even more intresting. They also turned down brine shrimp (frozen).
We'll see how they do with Mysis tomorrow. |
How big are they???
|
Fairly small. Maybe a inch, inch and a quarter long?
