I just picked up a firefish goby and everything I'm reading mentions feeding them vitamin enriched food to maintain their coloring. What is meant by that?
I have mysis shrimp, fish frenzy, TDO Chroma Boost, Sustainable Aquatics Hatchery Diet and New Life Spectrum Ultra Red.
I keep some thawed out mysis and fish frenzy, with a few drops of Selcon in my fridge and they get that every night. In the morning, they get something dry. Typically whichever bottle is closest to me (so long as it's not the same one every day.
I believe the Selcon helps with the nutrition (but I really don't know and to be honest, I feel like I'm feeding them calamine lotion). But, regardless, they have no shortage of variety in their diet, so I'm probably covered.
A little bit of trying to figure out what everyone means by 'vitamin enriched food' and the best I can come up with is adding Vitachem and frozen Blood worms.
My initial thought was to add blood worms and vitachem to my mysis/fish frenzy/selcon cocktail, but maybe that's overkill. Maybe I'm better off just waiting until I run out of something before adding another food.
PLUS, there's only one store in my area that has Oyster Feast, which I've been wanting to pick up, if they have the blood worms, I'll probably get the oyster feast too. And since I'm already there, I'll end up with another coral since it's a little tiny, itty bitty store with a good selection of really nice looking stuff and there's only one coral left in my invert QT at the moment.
