Favorite fish foods

I'm recently a live blackworm convert. Even my teeny little rainford goby who won't any thing bigger than a speck of dust will inhale them.

I will be getting blackworms regularly from now on

Where do you get them? Does you LFS sell them?

 

[sundog101]

I really like Krabby Joes Roe. I had never heard of it until my lfs got it. Imo it’s better than nutramar ova.

The only place I’ve seen it is Seascape studios in St. Louis. Can’t even get it online.

Spirulina brine usually does the trick for most finicky fish. LRS Fish Frenzy has also been very effective.

 

[srad750c]

SF Bay brine shrimp, spirulina flakes, Ocean Nutrition plankton, PE mysis and cyclopes

Where does everyone get live blackworms?

 

[jasonrusso]

I am trying to get to one food. It seems that Larry's chunky is the go to for my predator tank. The lion, puffer, eel, angler, tang, angel, and foxface all like it. I keep Nori on hand as well for the omnivores.

I still need to keep clams on hand to keep the puffers teeth worn down.

To get new fish eating live blackworms are your best bet.

As far as what I feed regularly;
LRS Reef, Fish, and Herbivore Frenzy
LRS Fish Eggs
Live baby brine (fresh)
Fresh clams
Selcon
Nutramar ova
PE Mysis
PE Mysis Pellet
Cyclop-eeze (original)
Calan-eeze
TDO Chroma Boost A - just starting using this stuff and the fish seem to like it
Masstick 72g mixed with almost everything listed above
Nori
and probably a few more that im forgetting

I usually soak some LRS reef frenzy in oyster feast and that seemed to peak interest of newly acquired fish.

 

[Rmfgator]

My fish love Rods food I've also tried LRS and they go crazy for that too!

Linguine and clams. :rolleyes:

Oh, you mean for the fish. In that case. Linguine and clams. :D

frozen all the way.... hikari spirulina brine and hikari mysis mix... soaked in a little selcon and occasionally some hikari krill in the mix. As my trigger grows bigger, I'll have to find something larger. I tried reef frenzy, but the next day, my naso started acting funny. It was an internal parasite. Likely coincidental, but now I'm a little shy about using the product again. At least my naso pulled through!! He's been eating normally for a few days now :D

I can guarantee that LRS didn’t give your naso intestinal parasites.
Do you quarantine?

Yup. Big time. He's been in the tank forever. No new adds recently... I thought perhaps the food may have thawed on it's way to the LFS or something...

 

[puffy127]

I get my blackworms from my lfs or from California Blackworm Co.

 

[Mark Gray]

I feed Black worms I feed them some selcon but they won't survive on this
Pods
Rods food
some times when I am lazy pellets

I can assure you that the food didn’t contain parasites.
No worms can survive getting blended and frozen.
I have used LRS for over a year and a half with absolutely no issues and found that hikari (especially brine) was dirtier and less nutritious than LRS.

I take reef frenzy, roe, and calanus and mix it all up into a single container and feed that daily with live black worms and NLS pellets. Adding the smaller food helps with anthias, and spraying some into a power head allows me to target feed my copperband away from my aggressive feeders :)

 

[TonapahNorth]

Cube worth of Reef frenzy, selcon, drops of garlic juice, reef nutrition R.O.E., cube of PE Calanus, Cube Of hikari brine, and some pellets (usually cobalt that I picked up as a freebie at MACNA) ..
Soak for a while

Everything has eaten that mix. Everything

 

[srad750c]

Question?, why does everyone use black worms to feed SW fish? I’ve never used them in 30 yrs, always in FW. Just like I don’t feed predatory SW fish goldfish. Maybe I been lucky but the only finicky fish I’ve had has been moorish idols. Can someone enlighten me?

 

[drblakjak55]

Dried plankton, San Fran Bay. Soaks up Selcon. Powdered stuff from the plankton I mix with Brightwell Microvore and saltwater to direct feed acans, Duncan’s, euphyllias, ricordias
Hi Kari sinking algae wafers. Fun to watch them pass them around
Home frozen clam shrimp scallop.
