I have two immature clowns and a young royal gramma.
These guys pig out on the TDO Chroma Boost small that I feed them.
But when I thaw out some frozen San Francisco Bay mysis shrimp, they attack the first one that goes by, eat it, then stop. The tank becomes a small storm of the shrimp swirling around, because after eating one (maybe two) they don't eat more. I have ended up pulling out the excess with a net.
Is my fish's apparent lack of interest in the mysis shrimp normal? I would have thought they would prefer it to pellet food.
Or am I misunderstanding something? Is one or two of the mysis shrimp all a fish can eat? Relative to their mouths the mysis shrimp are large, but I have assumed it's all "fluff" and empty space for the most part- that it's like cotton candy, meaning they would have space for a bunch. Am I wrong about that?
Is the brand of shrimp I'm using sucky? It certainly stinks! Pew!
