Best Sponge Based Food for Angels?

[snorvich]

I am looking for some excellent sponge based foods for angelfish. Anyone got some they like? Thanks in advance!

Ocean Nutrition makes a frozen cube pack with sponge for marine angels, although I have heard debate on how much sponge is actually in there. I am not sure if fish food manufactures list ingredients in order of percentage of overall content, like "people" food, but if so, this would give an idea of how much.

I have been using for some time now, a product made by Brightwell, called AngeLixir. It is proported to have the same amino acids found in marine sponges. It is sold as an additive to be added to food. I have used it daily, adding it to NLS pellets, which are excellent for soaking additives without releasing in the water. I have noticed increased coloration, and growth in both my large Emperor, and Flame angel.

I just buy a mix of different sponges and put it in the tank for my angels to pick. Can't get more natural than that.

It is a pricey way to do it, but you invest so much in the system/fish that in my opinion it is all relative. (expensive fish=expensive food)

I'm sure at any LFS you can buy Tree sponges, Ball Sponges, Bee Sponges... etc... Live Aquaria has all of those right now. I wish there was a giant pack of 20 different sponges you could just order, but I guess things aren't that easy.

So let's say +/- $150 every 3 - 5 months?

Not to bad in my opinion.
