feeding fish

I am looking to see if anybody has designed a feeding reading for the Eheim auto feeder for a rimless tank. I have one of the magnetic rings now, but it moves around from the flow and I’m looking for something more sleek. If you design this, please let me know. Thank you.

Apologies if this question is a bit elementary in nature, but how much should I be feeding my tanks? I'm worried that in the process of not wanting to overfeeding my tanks, I may be actually underfeeding them instead. Is there a good way to tell when all the tanks inhabitants are content...

Share some tricks about what you did in order to get your leopard wrasse to eat. I my self having some issues with getting my leopard wrasse to nibble on seaweed, lettuce, meat pellets, mysis shrimp, blood worms, brine shrimp. I haven’t dipped anything in garlic but the meat pellets are pre...

I bought a foot long engineer goby but I'm struggling with feeding. He doesn't try to eat silversides or small shrimps but does look at them. I feed my tank frozen mysis but feel like little pieces of mysis won't sustain him. He also hides when I approach the tank so spot feeding is pretty...

I have a 15 gal tank with a pair of clowns, 1 yellow goby, 1 pistol shrimp, 2 scarlet leg hermits, 1 Halloween hermit, 2 nessarius snails, 1 fire dart fish, and a variety of corals (1 hammer frag, 6 different varieties of zoa frags, 1 hobgoblin frag, 1 stylocoeniella frag, 1 stylophora frag, 1...

Sometimes ago...I stumbled upon Smart Reefs Frozen Feeder. I have been using this feeding system for my seahorses, for probably over a year. Worked so well - I got a 2nd one, for my main reef tank. Works amazing - set it in the morning....tanks fed slowly through the day....take down in the...

Hi and Happy Holidays to you all. I'm new to saltwater and never had clownfish. I started the journey 3weeks ago. Set up the tank 13.5gallon evo with live sand, dry rock an seeded with Dr Tims and added the ammonia. 1week later 90% water change and added (2) clowns and biospira. Noticed...

New frostbite clowns won’t hardly eat anything. Had them 5 days. Tank has been running 8 years, biocube 32 led. Tried mysis, brine shrimp, pellets, flakes. Any other ideas? pH-8.0, ammonia-0, nitrate-5ppm, nitrite-0. They will eat but not with any gusto. They just pick and spit it out. They’re...

I got some new clowns two days ago. They’re tiny. Maybe 1.5” long. They don’t seem to want to eat much they just wanna cruise around the tank at full speed. I’m feeding the same food the pet store I got them at fed them. They’re frostbite ocellaris. Is this normal? Short video of the clowns...

Hello all! I'm facing a crisis that is keeping me up at night! For context, I have 2 Clownfish, 1 Royal Gramma, and 1 Cleaner shrimp in a 20L tank. No corals (long story) The city I live in has faced a snow/ice storm that I don't ever remember happening here (Lived here for 22 years). And of...

Doing some feeding for the tank, thought I'd throw some music in. Enjoy! Music: breathe slow Musician: Rook1e

Hello, I have 2 clownfish. They have been together for about 5 months now. Over the last 4 days, both clowns haven't really eaten, which seems to stem from the female not wanting to eat and the male follows suit. Here's the back story. I have a 55 gallon mixed reef tank. It got ich, so I went...

Curious how all of you would design a food regimen for my tank. I know that there are tons of variables, but assume a perfect world (i.e. nutrient export isn't an issue, home all day, etc). I'm struggling with figuring out how many times to feed, what to feed and when to feed it, how much to...

Hello all, So, I picked up a young Valentini puffer about a week so, and he’s kind of a pain in the butt to feed. For the first couple of days, I couldn’t get em to eat anything. I tried mysis, krill, silversides, and SF brand carnivore cuisine, all cut into appropriate sizes, but every time...

I picked up a gorgeous ventralis anthia on Sunday! I realize these are one of the harder fish to keep because of dietary needs (frequent feedings, picky eaters etc). But I’m most certainly going to give it my best to get this guy eating healthy frozen/prepared foods and have it thrive in my...

Most of my friends in the hobby almost exclusively feed frozen food in their aquariums with some sprinkles of dry food/ nori strips here and there. What does everyone else do? If you don't feed frozen why not? Is anyone able to exclusively feed live??

Hi everyone! I tried searching for any threads on this food before making a thread, apologies in advance if this is a double post. My LFS employee recommended her favorite fish pellet to me, which they don’t even sell, and I have never heard of. Acai pellets? It’s like, actually acai berry, too...

I'm curious, if I feed my fish clams on the half shell will they end up eating my Live Tridacna/Hippopus as well?

so currently have a 130 gallon water box an 30 gallon water box with my husband. in the 30 we keep our frags and pair of clowns, and in the 130 we have a purple tang, 2 davinci clowns, a melanarus wrasse (pardon my spelling), a coral beauty angel, and a flame angel. would like to get a goby and...

Hi I am wondering if I am feeding correctly. I recently acquired some lps that need to be fed and a 6-line wrasse that seems to nip at my blue sympodiums if he is hungry. I have softies and lps and a 12g tank with a 10g sump. I spot feed 3x a week with a little frozen krill, a little mysis and...

So I am new to the saltwater tanks and have just started my tank with three blue/green chromis and two Ocellaris clownfish. I have had the chromis for about a month and the clown fish for about a week and a half. I have been feeding my chromis brine shrimp from day one, same food my lfs fed...
