Does anyone feed only pellets?

[The Punisher]

I was just curious to see if anyone out there only feeds pellets to there fish. If so, how long have you been doing it?

I do , and my fish have never been as fat and look as good as they do now. I get tired of preparing frozen foods and made the switch to pellets. I use a mix of different sized Spectrum and Ocean Nutrition ( with garlic and spirulina ). The love it and it creates less waste in the tank.

I feed all sorts of stuff, pellets being one component (NLS + HBH)

IME, most people feed pellets as part of a broader variety of food offerings. I've been busy lately and haven't made time to feed frozen in a couple of weeks and have been only feeding pellets. When I first got into reef keeping pellets and flakes were about the only offerings available and now it seems like people insist on feeding frozen foods to maintain healthy fish. I can see that for hard to keep species but I don't have any fish that fit that description. All of my fish readily eat pellets (even my mandarin) and I was curious to see how many people out there fed pellets exclusively.

I try to make the majority of their diet be various pellets - NLS, ON, Salifert (not tried yet), Omega One (the fish don't like it much) and recently HBH Spirulina (fish LOVE it but it's too big for most to swallow).

a varied diet is key to keep fish healthy long term. I fed a few different pellets along with about 10 other foods.....

I feed various NLS, ON and Hikari pellets and have recently starting using the Elos pellets that BRS carries and my fish love them. I do mix in various angel specific frozen foods that contain sponge for my angels.

Yeah, many years and as many high quality variety that i can get.
SeaLife (Japan) , Grotech (Marine daily and Plus) , Fauna Marin (veggie and color).

Pellets are the main staple for my fish day-to-day. But I supplement with frozen foods as well.

I've been feeding NLS pellets exclusively to my fish for a few years. But for tangs I will also supplement with Nori.

To get new fish to eat I will offer a wide variety of pellets, flake, frozen, and fresh clams on the half-shell, but I eventually wean them all onto NLS pellets.

I currently have a Regal Angel over 5 years old but she has become finicky lately ( she was sharing the tank with a very boisterous Achilles and a Desjardinii Tang and I think the stress has gotten to her).

My 180 got NLS pellets exclusively when it was up and running. The fish in my new tank are not all eating pellets yet. Once they are all eating pellets it will be 99% NLS.

Occasionally I treat the fish with raw shrimp, clam, or blackworms? I feed 2-3 times a day. 1 or 2 feelings per week at most would be something other than pellets.
