3 cubes of hikari mysis
2 cubes of PE mysis
1 cube of frozen adult brine
1 cube of spirulina brine
1 (sometimes 2) cube of ocean nutrition formula 1
A decent chunk (about 2 cubes worth) of Pacifica plankton
2 mantilla clams
2 or 3 sheets of nori
A healthy portion of crushed aegis flakes and freeze dried cyclopeeze via an auto-feeder
Clams in the morning, nori and flakes in the afternoon (if I'm not home I sometimes skip the nori), frozen in the evening.
My fish are fat. Hopefully the mandarin does well in the display.

Holy crap. That seems like it takes a ton of time
And effort to feed your fishes each day!! The green mandarin that I got yesterday seems to just hide in the caves in my DT and won't come out. He just lays in there. I squirt a bunch of frozen mysis in there and I do se him pecking it. Is this a good sign even tho he just hides n seems very slow? Also I tried hatching dry brine shrimp but still didn't see any hatch yet in a 24hr period. Used tank water in a bottle with an air pump.
