    Coco Worm Supplemental Feeding

    Hey all. So I have 3 coco worms in my 16 gallon reef tank that seem to be doing ok, with 2 of them even adding about 1-2" to their tubes since I got them back in November, but they haven't been coming out quite as much as they usually do over the past week or so. Should I be supplementing their...

    How often should I feed my reef tank?

    I recently found that I had a growing pod population in my 2 month old reef tank, and the population went from a few hundred to what look like well over ten thousand in a matter of days, and my wrasse loves them. I've also found my firefish, clown, and possibly yasha goby eating them as well...

    Struggling to feed highly reclusive Yellow Watchman Goby

    I have a 25g nano tank. When I first added the YWG to my tank, it actively swam around and posted up on various rocks. About two weeks after adding the YWG, I added two clowns and the YWG's behavior changed overnight. Although the clowns are not aggressive towards other fish in my tank, the YWG...

    Smallest auto fish feeder available?

    I tried googling "Smallest auto fish feeder" to see what my options are and couldn't really find any threads or articles dedicated to reviewing and comparing the smallest available auto fish feeders for a small pico tank. I'd probably go with an Eheim Everyday Fish Feeder but if anyone knows any...

    Haven't seen my fish eat since I got it.

    So about 6 months ago I picked up a geometric pygmy hawkfish. To this day I've never seen it eat any of the food I've tried offering. LFS I got it from said they were feeding mysis and live brine, which is what I also use in my rotation. The tank is a 20 gallon long that I use that I use for...

    How do I feed my snails?

    I know this may sound like a stupid question, but I recently been battling dinos and because of that I've had no other algae in the tank. I've had a low toxic form of it and my snails we're munching away. But I did two blackouts and now there's nothing for the snails to eat. I really don't want...

    Hey folks, Do you create your own coral food? What ingredients do you use and do you see positive effects from feeding your corals with it? Here's my formula created mainly for LPS, but its smaller particles reach some SPS too. What do you think about it, does the ingredients make sense...

    Need Help Feeding Mandarin!

    I ordered some fish about 2 weeks ago and the site I ordered from had a great deal on mandarins (we’ve wanted one for a long time now). I’m assuming it’s wild caught (yes, first mistake we know). We ordered some copepods at the same time to beef up the tank’s supply. We knew we’d have to train...

    How do I get my fish on pellets?

    I’ve been feeding my melanurus wrasse, tomini tang, and pair of clowns frozen mysis shrimp for months now (since I’ve gotten them) They will only touch pellets or flakes if they’re coming down right infront of their faces, and they’ll only eat one or two bites and become uninterested. Any...

    Do i need to feed my shrimp and hermit crabs?

    I picked up a bit of CUC to clean my tank of diatoms. Do hermits and shrimp eat that? I was told they do but I haven't seen them actually eat any of it. My Mexican grazing snails, conch, and urchin are doing almost all the work. When I feed Flakes I feed just for my fish but when I feed Flakes...

    Can I over feed my blue ribbon eel?

    This may sound like a funny question considering how hard it is to get a blue Ribbon Eel to eat in the first place, but my Eel will eat anything that is colourful enough for it to see and really enjoys Guppies. So will I have an endless breeding supply of Guppies I wonder how much I should feed...

    Problems with Bubble Tip Anemone

    I have 2 rose BTA in a tank and one of them isn’t doing so hot. I’ve tried giving him clam meat and shrimps, I believe he’s only eaten a small bit of shrimp but it sits on top of him for quite a while so I could’ve missed if a hermit or emerald crab just stole it instead. He had tiny clear worm...

    TDO feeding amount for 2 mandarins?

    I recently bought some TDO pellets (x-small) and realize I have been making a mistake not doing this sooner. The Biota mandarins eat them right up and they will sit on the rock work until they come by to feast. I had been doing Hikari frozen brine and frozen can o cyclops and the challenge with...
