Best fish food?

[4n2xtacy]

Hey guys, my personal schedule have been quite off lately. I leave the house quite early before anyone wakes up and get back late when most are sleeping in my tank. I've been feeding frozen foods but now I wanna start with some flakes using the automatic feeder. My question is what's the best flakes and pallet food out there for the guys? The tankmates are as follows
1. Leopard wrasse
1. Goby
1. Marine betta
1. Cardinal
1. Anthias
1. Blue chromis
2. Fire fish
Shrimps and hermit crabs.
Starfishes
1. Snowflake eel
And
Corals.

For pellets spectrum is one of the best and my tank really likes reef flakes

Not a fan of flakes at all. Look into TDO chroma boost pellets, very high quality.

Just ordered some of these from BRS! How do you like it? I've heard so much good about it but it's barely mentioned. Is it very niche or just new?

 

[Geebs19]

I use the PE pellets and I use PE frozen, not sure if the correlate but they seem to like it.

It’s base is Otohime, a Japanese feed that’s been around for a long time and has an amazing track record. It’s used worldwide to wean tiny larval fish from live foods to inert feeds. The Reed folks just started marketing smaller packaging and some value added top coating to get more heavily into the ornamental market recently. So it’s neither niche nor new, but sort of newly reintroduced to the consumer aquarium industry :)

Oh wow. That's a really interesting back story. Does this mean it's not ideal as a staple food for say, clownfish? Thank you!

I use a mix of hikari marine s and seaweed extreme pellets in my auto feeder.

TDO chroma boost will make an excellent staple

I don't use much for dry foods... just prefer frozen. Hikari Marine S is about the only pellet I use. Sushi grade sheet Nori, and I keep a jar of PE Mysis flake, but hardly ever use it.

I understand why people want to do auto feeders... but since I work from home, it's no big deal for me to do several feedings in a day. After breakfast, I put a couple cubes in a cup of saltwater to thaw, and just dump a little in when I walk past the tank.

Not only is it suitable, they have done scientific studies on clownfish coloration with that feed to optimize coloration of ornamentals. No other feed manufacturer in the ornamental industry has done that to my knowledge. It is really good stuff.

I also use Brine Shrimp Direct Golden Pearls, which is fantastic as well.

Nyos pellets are really good. All my fish Fish seem to enjoy it more than nls.

TDO is one of the most popular weaning, growout and broodstock feeds in clownfish aquaculture. TDO is ideal for nearly every fish, whether it's freshwater, brackish or marine. People are even feeding it to corals. Here is an example of a weaning structure we designed for clownfish breeders. This chart was put together based on their recommendations.

I use Hikari Marine S & Hikari Seaweed Extreme daily, cube frozen or littleneck clams on weekends and reef roids for the corals.

I almost always feed my fish diy frozen food. But I was having phosphate issues from a dead skimmer. So for the last two weeks I've been feeding the TDO pellets. My fish look a little brighter I was surprised. I will definitely keep it in the feeding rotation.

 

[Gary Ellis]

Tried TDO. My fish spit it out. They don't like it.
