feeding

Hello Everyone I have a new BTA and I'm planning on feeding it soon. My local fishmonger sells a marinara mix of seafood which was recommended to me. these are the ingredients. Can I feed it or should i use the mix before feeding it to get rid of the flavorings? Basa Pieces (34%) [Farmed Basa...

I got this off of fishtanks direct. I’m posting to tell everyone that it’s A USDA grade ‘A’ piece of absolute Shi*. If you can claw and bite your way through the imposible to open packaging, your left with a 2 cent, thin cheap piece of plastic. It slips off the float, the tangs are scared of...

pictured are my kryptonite candy canes they seem to be enjoying the new food! I wish they would split. Anyone know the optimal conditions to grow these faster?

So my button scoly decided to deviate from its normal diet. I noticed the other day it had a huge lump in it, I had just added a bunch of nassarius snails but I thought "no way, they are way too big and the lump isn't big enough." I was worried though, it was a big lump. Today the culprit has...

I have a watchman Goby, he’s been in my Fluval 13.5 gallon nano reef tank for 2 years now. Initially with 2 clown fish, now with a single clown fish (the female clown became very aggressive and beat up the male until he wasn’t able to survive in a span of a few days, about 6 months ago) the Big...

Hello Reefers, I would like to share a video that I shoot 1 hour ago while feeding my Mandarin Dragonet. Everybody was asking about how I feed my Mandarin on social media. Here is the answer. Bonus:

Hey fellas, hope your holiday weekend is treating you well. I’m planning to start the process of building a 15g nano reef w/ fish after a couple year hiatus coming from a fresh water cichlid tank. I have very little experience with saltwater tanks so I am doing my due diligence and researching...

My clownfish have been breeding again recently so I figured why not make a go of it. I've got rotifer cultures from Copepods.ca (I think it's the same company as Copepods.com in the US) The bottle of included phyto is labelled high concentration, and the only directions say to add 1-2 ml per 200...

Hey folks - for the first time I fed my acros reef roil today. For some reason my 8x8 rrc firework started spitting out long gushy stuff - - anyone else has experienced the same ?

Hey everyone, I went to my LFS yesterday and saw they had a tiny yellow goby, I knew it wasn’t a yellow clown goby because his body was slightly wider and eyes were smaller, I thought it was similar to my black barred circus goby, so I asked to see him eat and he didn’t seem very interested but...

I don’t know how old he is but he’s lost almost all of his juvenile look, only a small portion left. I have been feeding nori sheets and he seems to pick at it. Got him a couple days ago. He also seems to pick at clams and possibly eat most of it. (Haven’t been able to tell yet. I see the meat...

Just curious if I’m doing this right. I have a currently 20 inch long zebra moray eel in my 310 gallon. After a week in my tank he’s finally started eating.

Hey all. So I have 3 coco worms in my 16 gallon reef tank that seem to be doing ok, with 2 of them even adding about 1-2" to their tubes since I got them back in November, but they haven't been coming out quite as much as they usually do over the past week or so. Should I be supplementing their...

I have a Blue Throat Trigger about a week in my tank, full grown. I'm not quite sure what it likes to eat. I feed my tank a variety (PE mysis, v2o 50/50, LRS Reef Frenzy, Fish Frenzy, Rods Herbivore feast, various Hikari stuff (mysis, brine, angel mix). I've never seen it enthusiastic or eating...

I recently found that I had a growing pod population in my 2 month old reef tank, and the population went from a few hundred to what look like well over ten thousand in a matter of days, and my wrasse loves them. I've also found my firefish, clown, and possibly yasha goby eating them as well...

I have a 25g nano tank. When I first added the YWG to my tank, it actively swam around and posted up on various rocks. About two weeks after adding the YWG, I added two clowns and the YWG's behavior changed overnight. Although the clowns are not aggressive towards other fish in my tank, the YWG...

Ok so I have a very active frogfish he swims around the tank more then average frogfish. Will he be burning a lot more energy since he is swimming and should I feed him more? Right now I feed him like 2 pretty small ghost shrimp a day or 1 medium but I never see a bulge in his belly if anyone...

Just got a new snowflake eel 2 days ago and tried feeding it cut up fresh grouper fillet but it isn’t interested at all. Its a decent sized one over a foot long and thick as a thumb. I read they wont eat when new to a tank but the other 2 snowflakes i had before ate the same day i got them. Any...

I tried googling "Smallest auto fish feeder" to see what my options are and couldn't really find any threads or articles dedicated to reviewing and comparing the smallest available auto fish feeders for a small pico tank. I'd probably go with an Eheim Everyday Fish Feeder but if anyone knows any...

So about 6 months ago I picked up a geometric pygmy hawkfish. To this day I've never seen it eat any of the food I've tried offering. LFS I got it from said they were feeding mysis and live brine, which is what I also use in my rotation. The tank is a 20 gallon long that I use that I use for...
