Food variation - I feel like I don’t have enough of it!

Looking up the diet of your fish will help narrow down the best choice of food for them.

Ok! I’ll do some rest on the fish I have, thanks!

I feed 1/3 sheet of nori every day
every other day I feed 2 cubes PE mysis / new life spectrum pellets / hikari algae pellets
I add benepets benereef 1/2 tablespoon twice a week
1-2 algae wafers every 2 weeks for inverts

*once a week I will change out 1 cube pe mysis for 1 cube frozen PE calanus*
*I occasionally add a pinch of pe mysis flakes for my fish*

Dang, you’re stacked! What fish do you have that are herbivores?

I guess I would have more variety if I had a bigger variety of fish. The fish I have now require meaty foods.

Big nice selection off foods.this is what im getting to.everytime go to lfs i buy a fish and another food and slowly but surely getting my stock up.just got a copperband.it was eating mysis at the lfs and in my tank but was only getting a bit compared to other fish which are such voracious eaters lol.
So yesterday spent hours driving around looking for fresh clams and oysters.finally found a fish mongers in a supermarket other side off city that had a fish mongers so got frozen clams and fresh oyster.copperband at first didnt go to the oyster but it was covered in nas snails and hermits/ cleaner shrimp but when snails moved off the copperband went in getting his share

I make my own "private reserve" frozen food. My process is to take a bag of mixed seafood from Costco (or similar) and process it in a blender and place in a large bowl. To this I add a flat pack of krill, brine shrimp and blood worms. Next I add sheets of crumbled nori, spirulina, vitachem, garlic, reef roids, and coral amino. I blend the mixture together by hand (with gloves on) and evenly spread into ice cube trays (link below) for individual servings. The fish go nuts for this stuff and it has the added benefit of feeding corals.

That’s a really smart idea!

I recently ordered some nyos true algae and wild goji soft pellet food. All of my fish go crazy when I feed. I think it might be a little easier to eat for some of them since it is soft. I have PE pellets that are a lot harder and when I feed it they aren't as interested.

I make my own fish food, reef bum and fish of hex have great tutorials on this. It feeds the fish and coral

Lol my frozen food door in freezer looks almost identical to that pile @vetteguy53081 posted. Try to keep it mixed up daily always offering something different from day before.
Nori for tangs along with that in clip.
Our pufferfish gets seafood variety from Asian store blended up along with whatever im feeding other fish that day.

I can only tell you what I feed: Caplin eggs, LRS (due to the wide variety of foods in the mix), mysid, black worms, live tigger pods (which I grow in a bucket in my yard) and fresh chopped clams that I then freeze. I do NOT buy frozen clams as the whole point of feeding them is for the bacteria that the deep freeze would totally kill off. To be clear I buy them live, freeze them then prechop a bunch. Its smells TERRIBLE but the fish, crabs, pods and starfish go nuts.

If I had to dial it back I would feed LRS (due to quality and variety) and the live chopped clams.
