Per advice here and elsewhere, I bought my first PE Mysis at 70% protein. Previously used “normal” frozen Mysis or brine at roughly 7% protein. And alternate with occasional pellets or flakes. (Two clowns, yellow wrasse, BT tang).

Should I reduce the amount I feed given the 10X higher protein content? Or make other adjustments?
Thanks!
 
I wouldn't make any adjustments to the amount of PE Mysis you are feeding compared to previous amounts of frozen mysis fed.
Agreed. I would feed the same amount and monitor water parameters. The fish will appreciate the higher quality food!
 
I feed as much as my fish will eat in a few minutes. I do this several times a day but have never measured how much food I'm adding. PE mysis has been a staple in my fish diet for years and fish have done well with my oldest being almost 10 years now.
There is a shortage of it now but I'm not sure why. I buy the large flat packs and all I can find locally are little 8 oz flats.
