I feed my fish a variety of food and they seem to eat it without hesitation; almost without effort. I’d say that carnivorous fish tend to eat any and everything meaty fed to them, hence my thinking: fish eat better in captivity. They’re guaranteed a meal, they have a meal schedule and high quality foods being fed to them. Or so I think...
But omnivorous fish like tangs (with a preferred herbivorous diet) probably eat better in the wild. Sure, you can feed them well but do fish like that eat better in captivity than the wild? Grazing and all. How about mandarins? For certain, parrotfish are best left in the sea. Triggers as well IMO. What’s your experience with different fish?
Thoughts are all welcomed.
