feeding

Hi, I am currently cycling my 75g tank with a fish in cycle. I have 2 clowns and 2 Kupang Damsels in there and am wondering what is the best way to feed them without causing a major ammonia spike from over feeding. I currently have frozen mysis shrimp and marine s pellets from hikari. I was...

Hello all, I tried doing searches here as well as general Google searches but can't seem to find an answer so I thought I would just post the question to the experts. For transparency this question is for my freshwater setup but I assume will also apply to my saltwater setup once I get that...

Hello all, I’m a new reefer getting my first pair of clownfish & im curious about their diet or just fish diet in general from experienced reefers! My plan is to feed a mixed diet of frozen mysis shrimp & pellet food. Would it be better to feed pellet or frozen food in the morning? & which one...

So I just fed my 2 clown fish today (10g tank) and usually after feeding I try to remove (with my hands because I don’t have bottom feeders or a net) the left over fish food. However, looking at the tank right now there are 2-3 pellets I missed from previous feedings and 4-7 visible sized pieces...

Hello everyone. I have 3 moorish idols In my 450 gal that after 3 days 2 of them have started to eat the frozen food. Does anyone have any advice on feedings and also any long term success. The only posts I have been able to find are close to 5 yrs out of date and hoping the 2-4 year average...

I’m new to reefing but bought an established tank with decent sized fish. I’ve got a Foxface (4-5”), blue tang (3-4”), coral beauty (3”), cardinal (3”) and two new clowns (1”) I just added. I feed approximately 1 cube total of frozen food daily and a quarter sheet of nori. I use a variety...

Hey guys, I have two clowns, and the smaller one is a super finicky eater. He does not get excited about food, he will either swim up to food and then let it hit the ground or instantly spit it out. He is SO much skinnier than the bigger clown, and I am worried he's going to be dead soon. I am...

I’ve had a yellow watchman goby and a green clown goby in a quarantine tank for about a week. They spend a lot of time hiding (to be expected) which has caused me to struggle getting them fed. The clown goby flips out after I tried target feeding him with a syringe a few times. The...

I’m new to the hobby and I’m struggling to make sense of one of the most important aspects: feeding! I’m sure I’m not the only one who could benefit from a discussion on this so please reply with your feeding strategies, specifically answering these questions: What food do you feed? How do you...

When you feed a colony, do the various polyps share the food internally within the colony or does just the head that gets the food get fed?

I have a tank with two resident female leopard wrasses. I recently added an ornate leopard wrasse (a different species than the ones I have) and a yellow coris wrasse to my tank at the same time. The yellow wrasse adjusted well and the established wrasses accepted it without a second thought...

I am new to the reefing hobby and recently picked up a torch from my LFS. it is currently in my 10 gallon IM nuvo fusion that have been cycling for about 2 months. While I was at my LFS I picked up some reef-roids. How often should I feed my coral with them?

Hi all! One of my RFAs had babies a few weeks ago. Looking for good feeding ideas. Anyone have any successful tips? I would like to keep them healthy and happy. Currently adding Mini Mysis with Selcon every 3 days and Phyto Feast every 1-2 days. Is there something else I can feed? There must be...

Hi all, My refugium grows chaeto like crazy. So I though maybe I'd dabble in growing some other macro in my sump to feed the fish in the DT. Bio load: 5 Chromis, 2 Clowns, 2 Banggai Cardinals, 1 Convict Tang, 2 Sand sifting stars, a crew of snails, 1 cleaner shrimp, and a handful of corals...

It is with great frustration and discouragement that I’m posting, I’ve had several fish go through rounds of prazi, copper power, general cure and antibiotics after going fishless due to ich. Every fish is doing great now two months out from the start but my hippo. He had his ups and downs...

Hey everyone, was wondering what everyone feeds their lions? Mine eats frozen mysis shrimp and once a week gets live feeder shrimp to mix it up. Thought about doing some fresh cocktail shrimp once for him. But what do you feed yours?

Do you prefer to feed your corals before your water changes? Some seem to prefer to reduce what stays in the water column after feeding by doing a water change after, others seem to look at it as leaving fresh food available for their livestock after a water change, and some feed their tank so...

I am adding a chaeto reactor on Friday to help with nutrient control and I am worried it may rid my tank of film and GHA which is the only thing my LMB seems to eat. I am also worried if he only eats mostly film algae he will waste away. What are some solution to get him eating I have tried...
