Automatic feeders?

[Gary Majchrzak]

what pellets have you guys tried? There's floaters and sinkers. Small sizes and large. Pellets are great because they can deliver a lot of nutrition in a small (relatively) non-polluting package.

Gary, I see you have a Copperband. How do you feed him while you are out of town?

my CBB grazes the aquarium. I have yet to see it take prepared foods like my Kleins does, but I wouldn't be surprised if it started imitating the other Butterfly's eating habits. (They hang out together.)

my clowns, fox face, kole tang, gobies, chromis and cleaners will eat the sinking pellets off the sand bed. The anthias and cardinals wont touch them. The main reason I use them is because they're great for spot feeding corals.

While I was visiting Adams Tank he fed them that way. Watching the way the food came out the returns and the fishs reactions were very cool. I am going to try and do the same thing with my tank when the time comes.

CBB's usually don't take food from the water column- they (usually) prefer to pick stationary prey from substrate. I had one that was gonzo for VibraGro pellets. Small sinking pellets would be the best choice for CBB's IMO. My current CBB might be taking Spectrum pellets and I'm simply unaware of the fact.
