How many different food items do you feed your fish and what are they?

[Andresnyc93]

My fish are very spoiled. They’re getting 2 feedings and a sheet of dried green and red nori each day, one dry pellet food soaked in vita-chem, a frozen feeding with food below soaked in selcom and korallen amino acids and snacks in between consisting of Live copepods/baby brine shrimp and R.O.E/Arcti Pods. Every time I pass the tank I get them eyes..

 

[MoshJosh]

I said 5+ but I was including coral food. . . Oops

Frozen:

reef plankton
mysis shrimp
brine shrimp + spirulina

Liquid:

phyto feast
oyster feast
reef snow (brightwell)
zooplankton (seachem)

In my 50 gallon I feed LRS Nano Frenzy and three different sizes of TDO Chroma Boost pellets daily. Once a week I supplement with Benepets Benereef and occasionally I also feed live baby brine shrimp if I remembered so save enough water from my water change to start them. Sometimes I throw in a couple Hikari Carnivore pellets or Algae pellets for the shrimps and crabs. Darnit, I think I need to update my answer.

We're continuing our topics pertaining to Aquarium Food, feeding, etc. today and you can't talk about feeding without talking about the food right!? Some of our fish are on a pretty basic diet, simple and not complex. Others have fish who are accustomed to a buffet, a smorgasbord of different types of food. Let's talk about it today!

How many different food items do you feed your fish?

Will you LIST everything that you feed individually for us?

I make my own food that contains more than 5+ items. Squid, Octopus, Crab, Mussels & Clams, soaked in SeaChem Prime & Selcon, with spirulina, ReefRoids & decapsulated Artemia. Put into a 1cc form and freeze.

I like to keep things simple and efficient. LRS already contains all types of seafood and probiotics and algae but I still like to have mysis available for finicky new fish

Fish:
LRS herbivore
Hikari mysis
TDO pellets
Hikari seaweed extreme

Coral:
Red Sea Aminos
EasyReef EasySPS
Reef roids

 

[DarkReefer]

I've got a few things;

Fish -
Vitalis Marine Pellets XS
Nori attached to clip several days a week (usually doesn't last long on there)
Frozen Mysis
Frozen Brine

Coral -
Coral Essentials Coral Power Amino
Coral Essentials Coral Power Gro
Vitalis LPS Coral Pellets (don't use these that much these days), fish used to pretty much eat them anyway.

They are are for my 2 clowns, Orange spoty goby, 2 Lyretail Anthias, Royal Gamma and Blue chromis.

Any suggestions on what else i should mix it up with then.

I am a believer that we are what we eat. I feed my reef tank flake foods, pellets, micro foods, and every type of frozen food available.

 

[Fishfreak2009]

I feed Rod's food original blend, Rod's food breeders blend, Rod's food fish eggs, Rod's pacific plankton, PE Mysis, prime reef flakes, NLS pellets, TDO pellets, nori, freshly hatched live baby brine, frozen clams on the half shell, frozen formula 2, live copepods, and live caulerpa.

I also feed my tanks 4+ times daily. This is all just for the fish, I also feed stuff for the corals like various live phytoplankton species, reef roids, and reef chili.

I have everything automated. I use an Apex feeder where I mix 2 different foods...Reef Nutrition TDO and Ocean Nutrition Formula Two. Then I have an automated feeder for my Reef Nutrition foods...Arctic Pods, Beta Brine, Mysis Feast. I also feed the corals with ROE, Phyto and Oyster Feast.

I also add seaweed sheets periodically...

 

[GeoSquid]

My fish have never been quarantined and no longer get sick. I've add fish straight from the LFS with Ich and they don't catch it....and I think it's from the food. The main food is raw oysters and wild salmon. Then I fit something else in like baby octopus or shirmp - whatever is at the seafood counter. I have a 180 gal with a couple triggers, hippo tang and a few others. I spend ~$25 on this and it lasts about 4-5 months. Since I started feeding this the colors of the fish are amazing and the scale patterns pop. The hippo's skin looks like blue velvet.

I feed frozen mysis, frozen brine, live brine, and pellets. My fishes go crazy for the live brine lol
