8) Well I would like to know a good all round carnivore frozen food for a couple of pajama cardinals. I've been given them gut loaded brine shrimp. But I can't help wondering if they don't need a more varied diet. they will not eat the flakes i have. Is there a good marine flake food. anyone have any pajama cardinals and what do you feed them.
ps. If canada west is lurking the christmas tree and leather coral are thriving.

Tried Mysis shrimp? J&L has a couple brands.

Brine shrimp are high in fiber but not terribly nutritious.

What about Daphnia i feed my tank a mix of brine,mysis and daphnia. The nice thing about the Daphnia is it's small enough for the corals as well.

Thanks guys for the info. I'll take a trip to J&L's. Daphnia sounds good. I always thought it was freshwater stuff. But I guess some foods are universal.

Happy reefin

I feed mysis shrimp sometimes, but I find that most fish don't like it as much as brine.
