Diced Fish for Sun Corals

[herring_fish]

Another question about food.

I was thinking about prepairing food for sun corals and wondered if I could use fish instead of shrimp. It could be easier to dice a block or slab of fish than the smaller shrimp.

Do you think that there is a significant nutritional difference between shrimp and fish? Can you think of anything else that might make me want to avoid fish filet?

IMO the more variety, the better. Suns will eat just about anything you give them, so I don't see a problem with it.

I don't have any now, but in the past, I've used Formula I and II blended together. They seemed to love it.

I don't know much about feeding blends. What are Formulas I and II? About all that I know is cylopees and phyto paste. I grow rotifers off and on. I also use some of Marc Weiss's products but that is about all that I know.

My two colonies eat whatever my fish do not eat in the water column and then I feed them a separate shirimp/fish/scallop concoction once a week by turkey baster. Has worked well for years.

I put in a food processor shrimp, clams, oysters, mussels, squid, carrot, broccoli and garlic and feed that to my fish and dendros and they love it.

I shave off some extra fish that I catch spearfishing. Everything in both tanks love it
