Culturing Food For BTA and Clowns

[Random Aquarist]

What would be a good, nutritious food for a BTA and a pair of maroons that I could easily culture? Would BBS work? I want something relatively low maintainence.

Why are you feeling you need to culture your foods, rather than just buying some Formula 1, mysis, cyclop-eeze, silversides, etc.....

Well, I'm 14 and don't have a job. I get my money once a year from selling an animal at the fair. Since I don't pay the electricity bill, culturing is much less expensive.

I can't think of anything you could culture that would be beneficial to a BTA. Have Mom buy some raw shrimp. Both clown and BTA will love it. Just be sure and remove the vein.

This will work fine, and I love the strange looks I get when I ask for two raw shrimp at the seafood deli.

Silversides are also good, not that expensive, and will last a while.

Do BTAs eat clams or at least moluscs in the wild? My mom got a pound of clams for only like $2.80.
