I do love mushrooms! Still no sign of the new comers?
 
I'm wanting to order some dry fish for online for my fish what size pellets do you think I should go for since I have little to big fish... also what brand flakes and pellets are good? My lfs only has ocean nutrition as an option for saltwater dry foods.
I use TDO ChromeBoost pellets, both Small and large. Small are for fish 1-2”, I believe they make an even smaller one. High quality and the fish and inverts love them. I use CSPro flake from aquaLife.
 
My fish go nuts for freeze dried black worms that I stick to the glass.


Where do you order them from? I use to get them for my discus fish but I can't remember where I got them. They loved them as well.
 
Found an old photo of my 20g when we lived in an apartment in 2018... that elegance and long tentacle plate doubled in size so fast they had no more room.

Holy cow look at that heliofungia!

Wow GIF
 
I used that too but just once in a while . Half of my fish won’t eat it
Sounds like my family at dinner time....

Speaking of dinnertime!
