Can I feed my clowns flakes?

[AamaCrab]

I have two clownfish a firefish and a clown goby. They eat frozen brine shrimp and mysis shrimp.

I'm going on a week vacation and was thinking of switching them over to flakes and use a auto feeder. I have a month before I leave to see if they will adapt to the flakes.

Is this a good idea? Any suggestions?

Thank You

Yes, definitely. My clown doesn't get flakes a lot (twice a week), but when it does it goes crazy - loves flakes. Ocean Nutrition is a good flake food.

Thank you for the quick reply.

Can someone recommend a affordable/reliable auto fish feeder?


Thank You

Flakes are healthy for all fish just cause phosphates if over feed

+1 on Eheim....but the one I use is called Eheim Everyday Feeder....looks exactly like the "Feed Air."

cool....I just ordered the Eheim Everyday Feeder.....seems like the same as the "Feed Air"

Thanks everyone

Don't go crazy with flakes unless you have phosguard or something going for phosphates
