I'm wondering about the main diet of two clownfish (one occelaris, one snowflake) using nothing but the occasional veggie pellet and the frozen brine shrimp.
The clownfish were the first thing I added in my 14g, and i've had them since May. As of now, the tank is very healthy, full to the brim with plankton, and the clownfish are healthy. But, I have heard some people say brine shrimp is bad as a main diet. Keep in mind my clownfish are perfectly healthy and are addicted to the brine shrimp. The reason I don't feed them mysis which I have is because I can't- both clownfish refuse to eat them, not sure if it's down to size or coincidence.

This is I think what I use, coloring of packaging might just be different. Should I really go through the hassle of trying to get them to eat mysis when they are healthy and growing just off the frozen stuff?
