Fish food for Auto feeder

[samksy]

I'm going away for two weeks and my anthias don't like the dry food that i currently feed. What's your suggestion on food for Lyratail anthias on an auto feeder?

This stuff must smell good to livestock. My nassarius snails and serpent star come out looking for food, as if I just fed thawed mysis shrimp soaked in garlic extract.

I just got formula one pellets, I have not tried them yet.
They come in different sizes, are "soft and moist" and are supposed to sink a bit in the water and then float around. that was the reason I wanted to try them. I saw a lot of the foods I used to dispense with an autofeeder just end up going into the overflow.

How about Thera-A, slow sinking, small pellets with garlic and not easy to dissolve into the water. My live stock seems to like them a lot.

I can give you some to try if you ever pass by my cafe.

I'm currently feeding them Formula one small pellet. My anthias swallow it and spits right out.

I'll try the micro crab and new spectrum.....Hopefully i can get my anthias to eat those dry food.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks, i'll try it out.

I'll have a 40 gallon bin next to my tank w/ auto top off. It should last around two weeks.

If you fish really don't like dry food, have you consider
pizza
for a member/friend living close to you to feed them? Of course some of them like
dim sum
more.
