Baby Centropyge interrupta

Brine has a very low nutritional content, compared to mysis which is very high.
If you feed brine, from everything that I have read in the past, newly hatched brine is a lot more nutritious then adult brine.

I am currently feeding a mixture of newly hatched brine, mysis, and ground pellets. She is currently eating anything I offer her but I am afraid of overfeeding :crazy1:

There's nothing wrong with feeding adult brine if she eats it. The brine should be fed with a good phyto diet for at least a couple hours before feeding to the fish. I keep it in a 5 gallon bucket with airstone and add some shellfish diet every day, net it out as needed.

Mysis is good but piscine energetics should not be fed as a staple part of the diet long term IMO; it leads to obesity in fish and fatty deposits that kill them prematurely if overfed.

I am not feeding adult brine because it would take forever to raise them from eggs, and I am too lazy to do so...

I prefer just hatching them and feeding directly

beautiful, my next wish list

hope you get one soon!

Your tank is like "Honey I shrunk the Fish".. Very nice. Glad it has settled in nicely. That Goldflake is unbelievably small. wow!

Yeah they grow pretty quickly. I think that's good and bad. Good because they're relatively hearty and great eaters. Bad because they lose their juvi patterns too quickly

I have not seen one on sale. Any ideas how to go about aquiring one.

agree with Wayne...they are fast growers the first year and eat everything...

Ya originally started this tank to raise the interruptus a bit before i put it in my DT, but i ended up getting some small friends for her! Its actually a Chaetodon speculum.

I def. agree with you.
I am tempted to feed less (now i feed 3-5 meals per day) but i am afraid that it would starve the fish....

I was told from my japanese friend that the season for baby interruptus has just started! you should def. contact some japanese suppliers and see if they are willing to ship

how are yours doing huma?
