My Emperor needs food

[Ruth]

I have not never kept an emperor Angel fish but perhaps TomR can chime in here. I do however have 1 larger conspic Angel and one growing Goldflake Angel. Neither of them really nip at coral (yet). My Conspic angel will not take any free floating food. The only things I have had success getting him to eat is Nori (as long as it is on a clip and not free floating) and clams (the kind you buy at the grocery store) on the half shell. Both of these he eats with gusto. The goldflake eats anything I feed. I feed the tank a mixture of homemade frozen "goop" that I make out of clams, scallops, prawns, squid cyclopeeze, garlic, nori, flake and pellet (Ocean Nutrition) and selcon - this mixture changes depending on what is available.

TomR has 2 Majestic angels, not Emperors/Imperators. Was just there tonight with Snappy

Large angels need some food with sponge in it, because sponge makes up the bulk of their diet in the wild, I believe.

My Queen angel & Koran angel were raised mainly on Nori sheets & PE mysis.

I have also read several accounts (yes, including from the creator of the food) that NLS pellets are also very good for raising healthy large angels. (New Life Spectrum). I've been feeding this to my fish, & they really like it & stay nice & fat & colourful on NLS pellets.

I'd have to go with anthony on this as I have flame and koran angel and they both love mysis. I do find it wierd that your angel wont eat flakes? As mine eat anything I put in the tank. Hopefully this has been some help and good luck with your angels

My Emperor won't take Mysis at all, he does eat NLS pellet and I'm hoping that product will enhance his colour. He's just starting to morph now.
