I know I have been feeling to much based on others post on the subject. I just needed some help creating my own. I have tried feeding based on how much they eat but no mater what they always seem hungry. I also am worried about a valentine puffer nipping cora/tankmates (so far so good)...

I got a sweet lil Blue Dot toby/orangetail fiji puffer a while back and he has shown to be quite a picky eater. Doesn't go for pellets or wafers as expected. I purchased a variety of foods from the super market(clams, shrimp, and scallop). He ignored the clam and scallop, but loves the shrimp...

Hey everyone, I picked up a 3 inch Achilles tang which is currently being quarantined. Some details: he is in a 20 gal qt tank, I have a big pvc pipe he hides in, there’s a powerhead creating flow in the tank, current copper level is 2.25 (copper power), he’s been through a round of prazi. I...

Bulk Reef Supply MYSIS SHRIMP - FREEZE DRIED what you guys think about FREEZE DRIED by MYSIS

As my tank matures more im trying to get better at feeding my tank. I only have two clowns and a 6 lined wrasse with a fire shrimp and a small cleanup crew (i introduced my wrasse 1 year after my fire shrimp and things have been going well for a couple months)(79 gallon total system). Im now...

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...

I was thinking about making some of my own fish food. I really don't like the freeze dried stuff as It just floats into the overflow so I want to avoid that. I also don't want to just buy brine shrimp at the LFS since I am wanting to make something different. Does anyone know if it is safe to...

Well I’ve had my sailfin tang for about 6 months now. And he seems happy swimming about pecking the rock eatin’ good and all that.( eats formula two and some formula one pellets as well as he eats the brine shrimp I dump in the tank) I feed pellets twice a day and a cube of shrimp every other...

Hi, my LFS has had a shipment of live mysis shrimp and I was wondering, if I was to add them to my tank would they be able to survive as a food source for my fish, obviously I expect them to get eaten but would some be able to survive and populate the tank as a longer lasting food source if I...

I've had a 4-5 inch Powder Brown Tang in my 125 for almost a week now, it's the only tang, and largest fish in the tank. It appears happy and healthy, but it literally will not eat. I've tried frozen LRS Fish Frenzy, three different freeze dried foods, two different pellet foods, and nori...

Any one else have the issue where their Blenny will only eat frozen foods? I got this fish 4 months ago and I cannot get it to eat anything other that frozen. I go over a week at a time with only feed pellets in tank, and it will just not eat; hoping that it would get hungry and migrate over to...

I’m working on a list for what fish and clean up crew I want for my 40 gallon 3ft long tank. I want to have a diamond back goby in it to sift the sand and clean it up. If I put in some Nassarius snails in will they be competing with my goby for food or will the goby be alright.

Hello everyone, This weekend I finally was able to get a naso tang at my LFS. I had been going back and forth about getting one and when I saw it I fell in love. I know Tangs can be very picky and they need algae and nori to eat. I have the omega one red seaweed and he seemed to like it but then...

Apologies to admin if this is the wrong thread. Apparently my dog decided to misbehave today and bust open the Amazon box that contained my reef roids in it. I came home to find the whole container cleaned out. Do I need to start calling up my vet? The container says the only ingredients are...
