Feeding different foods

[ricky1066]

I am fairly new at this hobby so I take al ladvice
I have a wide variety of fish (listed Below) but I usually ask the lfs to give me ones that all eat the same thing.
The lfs originally gave me Brine shrimp and wow is therea lot on one cube and the fish go nuts for it.

After going to get more he gave me mysis shrimp and all agreed it was better
But they go nuts when I first put it in and after getting a few pieces the no longer touch it? why?

I went out the other day and bought some flake food from petland they said it was new and they liked it They all eat it except the flame angel So I try to give them some flake whenever and some brine the same time each day the mysis they don't like is it ok to keep giving brine?

Also I have an algae bleeny I never see him eat But I AM SURE HE DOES WHAT CAN i PUT IN FOR HIM TO MAKE SURE HE EATS?

The algae blenny should be eating algae. Brine shrimp basically have no nutritional value and should not be fed as a main food. The mysis is much better nutritionally.

I am aware of that But as i said they don't wat it what can I do to make them eat it or shold I look into feeding something else?

Throw them a mix of food at the same time, toss in a little brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, flake into a small container, mix in some tank water and then pour in.

You could allso stop feeding them for a coupple of.They will eat anything you throw in the tank.

soak mysis in garlic extreme may help tp entice them to eat them, rinse with tan water drain them with a brine shrimp net, dump the food in.
Algae bblenny prefer to eat algae on the rocks or glass more. But if they are none they will go at the nori too

try a larger variety

prime reef
formula 1
formula 2
angel formula

try different flake foods as well

you could also try fresh ingredients as well.

you could also try soaking the food especially the brine shrimp in selcon vitamins.

I use a mix of everything. If one day i see they are not eating I will wait a day to feed them then they usually eat what ever i have in the tank. I try to mix it up everyday that way I know they are getting what they need.
