Clowns always seem to be hungry

[bagged87blayzer]

I have had my Clowns for about a week now and they always seem to be hungry. I feed them twice a day but whenever I come near the tank they swim up to the surface and ask like they want more food. How much should I be feeding them?

Clowns will always act hungry even if they had just eaten. I have 2 false percs, 1 coral beauty, 1 royal gramma and 1 yellow clown goby. They get a small pinch of flake in the morning and maybe 1/2 of a frozen cube at night.

I feed mine three time a day, or more, and they still act like they are starving.

i feed my tank once a day.....i found mine tend to pay more attention to the anemone, then me anymore....but they are big and fat still...

before the nem they both would always come say hi to me....

just dont overfeed you will get cyano pretty fast.

Can I feed them frozen bloodworms and pellets? Like pellets in the morning and the bloodworms at night?

 

[skippy2]

There is no nutrional value in bloodworms. I don't like pellets because they sink to the bottom to fast. I know other reefers feed pellets though, just not me.
You need to be sure to feed a varied diet. My fish get anything from marine cousine, cyclope-eeze to emarld entree. I just started Rod's Food and my fish and corals love it.

Keep feeding them, especially at the beginning. as long as the food is good quality it is fine.

mine are always hungry for my arm, constantly biting it everytime I put it in the tank.

And they love cyclopeeze, it seems to like crack for fish
