Hi all,
Recently made the switch to LRS reef frenzy and Rod’s food instead of San Francisco Bay brands that I was using from PETCO.
Noticed that all my fish are not nearly as interested in the chunks of real fish or full shrimp like they were in the garbage Marine Cuisine and Emerald Entree I was feeding. They’re all tank bred species who have never seen the ocean. They surprisingly especially love flakes and pellets the most.
I have a couple clownfish and a royal gramma. I was suspicious the fish were not getting the nutrients they need feeding a diet of mainly Marine Cuisine which I horrifyingly noticed is mainly Brine shrimp.
Has anyone else noticed this or is it perhaps something they just have to get used to? They will eat a few smaller tiny bits but the larger pieces of fish and full shrimp they almost look irritated by when they eat it and spit it out and then start ignoring the rest of the food. I’ve heard nothing but good things and amazing feeding responses from these foods so I am a bit let down by the fact that my fish seem completely uninterested in it and would rather eat flakes lol.
