feeding

Hey All, I had this guy for about 2 months now. He was shipped direct and arrived healthy and fat. It took about 10 days, but he finally began eating starting with clams on half shell. Then he eat everything in sight from mysis to bloodworms to even nori. I feed 3-4 times a day. Lately, he no...

Hi everyone I just got 2 Flurry Clownfish and have been Feeding them mysis shrimp. Not sure how much I am supposed to feed them. Looking for some recommendations.

Hello guys, I bought this porcupine pufferfish 3 days ago. He was at my LFS for around 2 months and was on a dry krill (Tetra brand) diet. The water is medicated thus there was no need for me to QT him. At first, he was very energetic swimming across the tank, coming up to me when I approached...

I have a black tang in QT (alone) that refuses to eat if I am anywhere in the room even if I sit quietly far from the tank. Luckily I have a camera set up, when I leave the room the tang will within minutes eat the pellets, frozen etc off the bottom and absolutely inhale the nori I leave. Has...

So I feed my 2 clownfish about a half a cube of mysis or brine shrimp a day, they love both. Recently while I was inspecting my tank I noticed that one of my clownfish looked a little bit weird after his ribs which made me nervous. I’ll attach pictures below. Once per day seems pretty standard...

Hi all. I've got a 2.5 gallon aquarium that seems to be doing fairly well, but I'm a bit unsure of how much I should be feeding my livestock. Currently, I've been feeding every other day = 3-4 times per week. I see many people posting that they feed their aquariums 3-4 times per day! How do I...

Recently made a post worried about my new addition, but he’s doing very well now. He found his underground cave and the feeding training at work has definitely paid off. While I love all of my fish, he has me literally talking to him like he’s a dog, because he acts like one! He pouts by sitting...

Would a spike in amphipod population cause my firefish to no longer need feeding sessions? Its the only fish in my 15G tank. Very picky eater and only likes coming out with mysis shrimp. Over the last couple of weeks. its been coming out less and less. The times I have caught it, because its so...

Hello all! I am curious what everyone does to feed or otherwise provide nutrients for their corals. I'd love to see pictures of your tank, hear your feeding regimen, and your experience with what works and what doesn't. Some background: I am about 3 months into the hobby and have a softy and...

I rescued a tank this weekend that is 4 years old. The previous owner probably checked out of the hobby a while ago. The tank was full of GHA and he has 3 black widow BTAs. Inside I found one that was attached to the underside of the return nozzle. It was completely flat and blowing around like...

Hello, I just bought a pair of ocellaris that are about 3 inches. I have them in a Fluval Evo 13.5 and I’ve been feeding them prime reef flakes until they get full, twice a day. Am I over feeding? I am assuming that the fish is full when it eats a flake and spits it out. The male doesn’t eat...

Hello Reefers! I need serious advice on how to handle a long trip, with a new-ish reef tank, that is doing very well... but not "3+ weeks-with-no-water-change-or-dosing" well... 20 gal long, 4 small fish, snail/hermit CUC, soft and LPS corals. I am currently doing a 30%-50% water change once a...

Hi everyone, I got a Scooter Blenny for a few months now, since October to be exact, in my 20gal waterbox. She is doing amazing, always hunting for food but eats also very well frozen artemia. She always even swims to the top by the spot I drop the artemia in. I also have tried to feed her...

Hi all I have just purchased a very greedy Firefish who I have been feeding twice a day! I do 8 small pellets in the morning and 8 again in the eve, I also drop in 2/3 flakes as the hermit crabs and nas snail go crazy for them so like to make sure they have enough to! How often and how much...

I have homed in my vinegar dosing to 60ml a day. This deals with 6 cubes a day plus some mysis rs flake and spectrum pellets. I tend to feed in the evening and wondering whether this is causing very high nutrients and low the rest of the time. I was spreading it out to 24 times a day through a...

Hello all! First post on reef2reef, and I'm posting this here because I'm a bit concerned for my new clowns. I'm new to the hobby and set up a tank and let it finish a cycle, ensured ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels were low and safe, and introduced 2 ocellaris clowns into the environment...

Have a healthy long nose hawk that refuses to eat frozen (mysis), fresh (reef nutrition roe or pods), or any pellets/flakes. He devours small live feeder shrimp. I’ve tried garlic and mixing things up. Any suggestions from the pros on how I can move him over to frozen or fresh?
