I feed a variety of food between frozen dry Ang live food
I'd look into reef nutrition and LRS nano, great high quality foods. Adult brine unless gut loaded is not very nutritious. As a treat you can buy live adult brine shrimp and gut load them with small particle foods like reef roids and live phytoplankton. Fish went crazy for it.
Thanks I'll look into that. Is there a particular site you order from?
