When I bought these 2 there were other fish i wanted but they all dead or dyeing fish in them. There was a hippo tang that looked so sad, I wanted to rescue him but I didn't have a tank big enough. =(

You can.. but you would have to mince it up super finely. I use garlic oil, it's cheap, and it's quick and efficient. Buy the gel-caps that say "Garlic Oil" then when you feed, put the frozen food in whatever you put it in. Poke a hole with a pin in the gel-cap and squeeze a few drops onto the food and let it soak for 5-10minutes. Turn your skimmer off though if you feed with garlic... it will just make it go all crazy, and stop production for an hour or so. Also, have some good surface agitation as well afterwards as you can see oil splotches on the top of your water.

Good luck (it's easy.. and worth it to feed with garlic)
