Hey everyone, I picked up a 3 inch Achilles tang which is currently being quarantined. Some details: he is in a 20 gal qt tank, I have a big pvc pipe he hides in, there’s a powerhead creating flow in the tank, current copper level is 2.25 (copper power), he’s been through a round of prazi. I...

How do aquarists train wild caught fish to accept foods after being collected from the ocean?

I'm curious to find out what people are using their dosing pumps for! Mainly other than standard 2-part. What other supplements can we automate by incorporating dosing pumps? Diluting products that normally are dosed by drops or caps? Using automatic magnetic stirrers, to suspend solids? Come...

Bulk Reef Supply MYSIS SHRIMP - FREEZE DRIED what you guys think about FREEZE DRIED by MYSIS

As my tank matures more im trying to get better at feeding my tank. I only have two clowns and a 6 lined wrasse with a fire shrimp and a small cleanup crew (i introduced my wrasse 1 year after my fire shrimp and things have been going well for a couple months)(79 gallon total system). Im now...

So I just fed my 2 clown fish today (10g tank) and usually after feeding I try to remove (with my hands because I don’t have bottom feeders or a net) the left over fish food. However, looking at the tank right now there are 2-3 pellets I missed from previous feedings and 4-7 visible sized pieces...

What food should i feed my fish? i currently feed ocean nutrition formula two, frozen mysis and brine shrimp, and nori sheets for my tangs. I tried to look it up online but there are sooooo many different brands and stuff. should i feed flakes and or pellets? What else should i feed. Fish: 3...

I was thinking about making some of my own fish food. I really don't like the freeze dried stuff as It just floats into the overflow so I want to avoid that. I also don't want to just buy brine shrimp at the LFS since I am wanting to make something different. Does anyone know if it is safe to...

Well I’ve had my sailfin tang for about 6 months now. And he seems happy swimming about pecking the rock eatin’ good and all that.( eats formula two and some formula one pellets as well as he eats the brine shrimp I dump in the tank) I feed pellets twice a day and a cube of shrimp every other...

Hi, my LFS has had a shipment of live mysis shrimp and I was wondering, if I was to add them to my tank would they be able to survive as a food source for my fish, obviously I expect them to get eaten but would some be able to survive and populate the tank as a longer lasting food source if I...

I've had a 4-5 inch Powder Brown Tang in my 125 for almost a week now, it's the only tang, and largest fish in the tank. It appears happy and healthy, but it literally will not eat. I've tried frozen LRS Fish Frenzy, three different freeze dried foods, two different pellet foods, and nori...

Any one else have the issue where their Blenny will only eat frozen foods? I got this fish 4 months ago and I cannot get it to eat anything other that frozen. I go over a week at a time with only feed pellets in tank, and it will just not eat; hoping that it would get hungry and migrate over to...

I’m working on a list for what fish and clean up crew I want for my 40 gallon 3ft long tank. I want to have a diamond back goby in it to sift the sand and clean it up. If I put in some Nassarius snails in will they be competing with my goby for food or will the goby be alright.

Hello everyone, This weekend I finally was able to get a naso tang at my LFS. I had been going back and forth about getting one and when I saw it I fell in love. I know Tangs can be very picky and they need algae and nori to eat. I have the omega one red seaweed and he seemed to like it but then...

Apologies to admin if this is the wrong thread. Apparently my dog decided to misbehave today and bust open the Amazon box that contained my reef roids in it. I came home to find the whole container cleaned out. Do I need to start calling up my vet? The container says the only ingredients are...

How often do you feed you fish? does it depend on how many fish you have? Does it depend on your export method? Does it depend on what size tank you have? I currently feed my fish 3-4 times a day. I have a 32 gallon bio cube with 5 fish and lots of corals. I think I’m a a good amount. Breakfast...

Hello! I got 2 gorgeous Mocha Storm clowns 4 days ago. I have tried pellets... then mysis shrimp... then mysis shrimp soaked in garlic. And nothing is working (see attached video) They are eating tigger pods aggressively hunting them. I’ve been adding some directly in to tank so they at least go...

About 6 months ago I bought a pair of orange spotted filefish. I know they’re supposed to eat exclusively live coral but can sometimes be trained to accept prepared foods. I couldn’t supply my filefish with live coral but the whole reason I bought them was because they were eating frozen food in...

Hi guys, Just got back from China and saw loads of these guys in the restaurants. I have never seen mantis shrimp this big. All of them larger than my forearm.

I have a 100 gallon reef tank with lots of live rock and 2 leopard wrasses. The wrasses have been fat and happy for about 6 months now. They hunt all day but I think they get most of their food gorging themselves on frozen food. I want to add another wrasse to the tank. I am thinking of adding...

I am working on a coral spreadsheet of all the different corals and how to care (food, flow, placement, light) for them and estimated retail value if anyone wants to help contribute can message me. I have each sheet in a category for Zoa, Aussie, Chalice, Fazia, etc. This is just a rough draft...

I am getting stuff together to make some food and have not noticed Salmon mentioned. Is salmon used in homemade foods? How much if any? Is it too oily? How about using it to feed Nems?

Hi all, My refugium grows chaeto like crazy. So I though maybe I'd dabble in growing some other macro in my sump to feed the fish in the DT. Bio load: 5 Chromis, 2 Clowns, 2 Banggai Cardinals, 1 Convict Tang, 2 Sand sifting stars, a crew of snails, 1 cleaner shrimp, and a handful of corals...

I have a bunch of them and they don't really eat frozen food because its too big they only like flakes :/ They don't like lrs reef frenzy nano or PE mysis. Are there any options with oyster eggs or frozen pods just something small but nutritious.

Cleaning out fish room (closet) all stuff is unopened never used I just don't need any more. I bunched it all together and have it boxed ready to ship. I would like to try and sale it as one group and not piece it out right now.... $190 shipped 1. Julian’s thing 2. Atc refractometer...
