![]() I have 2 clowns, bi-coloured blenny, sifter fish, psy, yellow tang. I started off this hobby feeding my fishes frozen mysis but I'm so lazy to prep it and been just feeding my fishes flake food. Is that enough for them? I tried feeding mysis but they don't seem to remember eating them no more and don't go after it. Maybe too small? I only feed my LPS mysis shrimp now but each Time I do my 3 shrimps that I have goes nuts and goes right into the mouths of my LPS and rips the mysis right out n munches them( damn cannibals lol).

A better, more varied diet will make them stronger and better able to deal with stress and warding off disease. For the 118 seconds it takes to prepare some mysis, it's likely a worthwhile investment.

Does anyone else follow their own mood when they feed their fish? For example when I want to see them go bats*it crazy I feed cyclopeze or brine shrimp. When I want to see my shrimp and crabs go nuts I feed sinking pellets or mysis. If I just want to give the fish a chance to eat without cluttering my sand bed I feed some floating pellets. Or if I want to show off my yellow tang Maui I'll clip some red macro algae to the side of the tank. |

![]() Soaking it in Selcon or Garlic can also make it more appealing to the fishies.

![]() No, I have a very low nutrient system, mostly SPS, but the LPS I have grow like crazy. All they really need is light.
