Clownfish feeding

[Pvillarraga]

So I have a juvenile clownfish. I am currently feeding her flakes. The LFS said that 1 large flake which is about the size of a nickel every 2 days would be sufficient. Is it? I would like to switch to frozen cubes. If I were to switch to frozen cube about how often and how much of the cube should I feed him so she stays healthy and also the water. Thank you for the help fellow reefers!

you could likely chop that cube into 8 pieces or more and feed once a day...


I have 2 juvies who eat anything i put in the tank, and I likely do over feed.. they eat flakes, NLS marine, NLS grow, frozen mysis (i have to get some hikari which i hear is smaller the PE Mysis) and frozen cyclopeeze.

I think its tougher to get the amount of food right with a few small fish.

I think I'm gonna chop the cube Into
8 and do it every other day with flakes for a variety. I have a 6 gallon fluval nano and don't want to throw the water out of whack.

Feed as much as she will consume in five minutes. Clowns are always hungry, so twice a day is a good schedule, 3-5 times is better.

By the way, she's a he.
