Just got my first fish today! Feeding question.

[BigFeesh]

I just got a chalk basslet for my 29 gal biocube and have mysis shrimp, but I want to hear your opinion on when to feed him and how many times a day .thanks

 

[subielover]

Once a day is fine, be sure to rinse the food before feeding to limit po4.

 

[BigFeesh]

Ok thanks !

 

[BigFeesh]

I feel stupid asking this but what is po4 ? Potassium?

 

[subielover]

Phosphate

 

[BigFeesh]

Ok yeah I knew it would affect the phosphate I just don't know all the saltwater aquarium acronyms yet haha.

 

[BigFeesh]

And can I start feeding him tomorrow?

 

[subielover]

Absolutely! You can try now if you want, sometimes fish take a few days to start eating again, but most basslets that I have dealt with are pretty good eaters.

 

[BigFeesh]

He came out of his " man cave" and scarfed down all the mysis shrimp I put in! Awesome feeling !:bigsmile:
