    Skunk Cleaner Shrimp - Starving or Just Excited

    My skunk cleaner goes absolutely crazy each and every time I feed. He is upside down, dancing all over the tank grabbing bites -- at least until the clowns chase him back. So is he starving or is this just typical behavior? How does your feed?

    Chaeto question - edible for humans?

    I have a vegan daughter... you can see where this is heading! She's an adult - I'm not that cruel, I'd tell her where it's from. After? I just took out 1/4 from the sump as it was getting full. Was giving it a rinse so it won't stink in the kitchen trash, and boy this looks tasty.

    The day has come!

    Can brine be grown on coral food, like Reef Snow?

    I'm having trouble getting baby brine to grow out. Spirulina is not working well for me. Can things like Reef Snow, Coral Frenzy, etc be used to grow out baby brine after hatching? Any tips on growing out brine from hatching through large adulthood would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Washing or rinsing food

    Who here washes or rinses their food before feeding to eliminate excess nutrients? Has anyone seen any perceived positives or negatives? Curious. Thanks.

    Super Picky Valentini

    I am struggling trying to provide a varied diet for my valentini puffer. He doesn't touch flake or pellets. He eats 2-3 mysis/krill TOPS and after that will only accept brine. I purchased selcon and garlic xtreme to soak the food and it has no impact on the amount of mysis/krill he will eat. I...

    Shelf-stable food dosing - is anyone doing this?

    BLUF: What food can I feed via dosing pump? After a quick search around R2R with some keywords I couldn't find much on shelf stable food products for corals/inverts. Let me put this into context, though, of what I am trying to do. I recently switched from the KZ coral system (1-4) to the FM...

    Hello there , I'm wondering if it's safe to use leftover mysis shrimp after it has been thawed one day and tossed into fridge to reuse whatever's leftover the next day. Noticed small clown I have spitting mysis back out after eating it ... wondering if reusing food could cause disease or...

Apparently they're very pickey fish and will only eat certain things on certain diets. Please let me know what and how you feed your mandarin gobys...
