Feeding

[Big_Mclargehuge]

Hey. I was just wondering what everyone's opinions on feeding are? I have a pair of clowns and a pair of blue gudgeon dartfish. Some things i read say that the dartfish should be fed a couple times a day. Currently I've been feeding once a day a full cube of emerald entree. I use to alternate between that and mysis but i ran out of mysis recently. Anyway how much do you guys feed and how often? Thanks!

Everyday in the evening, 10 to 12 cubes.

I've got a rather larger setup, but I feed twice daily, with each feeding subdivided into two or three smaller feedings.

I'll put about two cubes worth of LRS into a tumbler-full of RO/DI or tankwater to thaw, along with a cube of whatever else is on the menu for the evening feeding (I've been using San Francisco Bay's variety packs - Marine and Reef - each contains four different foods, including capelin eggs, calanus, Emerald Entree, Marine Cuisine and Mysis) then pour small amounts of that mixture into either the tank or the sump. (My return then carries the water and food up into the tank, where it blasts out from one of four nozzles. Keeps anyone from goaltending.)

Some days, if I'm home, I'll drop a few pellets in around midday, and on other days I'll hang a steamer clam in the current, and just let everybody go to town on it. It'll be an empty shell by time for the evening feeding. Other days, I'll stick a couple of clips of nori on the front glass.

Why don't you feed heavier? Jk I'm guessing you have a lot of fish? lol

I have 2 clowns and a royal gramma, I feed up to 5 times a day, loads of different types of frozen foods, they have their favourites but seem to enjoy most frozen foods, mysis seems to be one they only eat if really hungry though so I’ve stopped buying that one.

My current lineup of fish include 6 wrasses, 2 clowns, a starry blenny, and a flame back angel.

I feed a pinch or 2 of NLS pellets in the AM, and 2 cubes of PE msysis or equivalent in LRS.

Basically pellets in the AM(just so easy to toss in on my way out the door to work), and frozen in the PM.

We feed the fish one time per day and the corals two times per week.
