Frozen Food Question

[los kados]

Hey all, I have a frozen food question. I?ve been in the hobby for about 4 years now and have fed just about every type of food for the different tanks I?ve owned (frozen, freeze dried, flakes, pellets, live etc..) Just curious about what you all feed or what you recommend I feed.

I mainly feed frozen and alternate the following: PE Mysis, 50/50 (Brine/Blood) cubes and Omega One algae pellets. I stopped feeding flakes just recently after 4 years since the fish are now bigger and the flakes get messy and a lot gets wasted down the overflow.

Here is my stock list
Imperator, Bellus Angel, Harlequin Tusk, Humuhumu Trigger, Blue Dotted Puffer, Foxface, Auriga Butterfly, Yellow Tang

Try Rods Food original. My fish luv it.

Good to Chinatown's fish markets they have all the goodies and cheap. Why pay $7 for a pack while you can get the whole box for the same price..

if you have the space to store food in freezer, kathyC (i think) posted something about bulk frozen food a few months ago

+1. Get some fresh clams, shrimp, squid, scallops and some nori and grind them all up in a food processor. Get some big freezer bags and you'll have a sh*tload of clean food!

Great tips. You should do research on all the fish you have and see what they eat naturally and how often. Then try to match it.

Always leave an algae sheet for the yellow tang, emperor, and the bellus, and they will look their best.

My fish get fed a variety of frozen foods every other day, and pellets in between with a daily sheet of Nori.

Thanks all for the info!! I'm definitely going to try to make some of my own food as suggested as well. My picasso trigger will love that as will the Harlequin.

Awibrandy, I basically do the same as you. Alternate frozen and pellets every other day and algae sheet 3 times a week for the Angels & Yellow Tang. It lasts about 2 mins in the tank.

Brine only as far as frozen. Mysis are too messy, same with those other frozen mixes.

Other than that, random normal flakes and that food we got at the frag swap.
