feeding Anthias family

[urb77]

What is the food for Anthias family in aquarium fish only?

 

[Monkeyfish]

Mine eat mysis, NLS pellets, nutramar ova, cyclopeeze and Frozen formula 1 and 2 ( I mush it up so the pieces are very small.)

What Monkeyfish said except I haven't tried the ova yet...I do plan on it.

Mine won't touch flake (anything) but the rest she loves.

Add frozen Hikari mysis and BS+ to Eric's list. Ours also love shaved salmon, and our borbonius trio takes small chunks of pretty much anything off of a feeding stick (the flavs don't tho).

Mine will eat anything

Very true...I haven't found anything our "blotchies" WON'T eat. Our he-she lyretail was like that too (had her for 8 years +).

[gweston]

NLS = New Life Spectrum. I've never used Nutramar Ova. Maybe some sort of egg?

 

[namxas]

Yes, Nutramar ova is roe.

 

[Monkeyfish]

Yes, Nutramar ova is roe.

Great stuff!

Depends on type of anthias, some are much more finicky than others, and most require several feedings dialy.
Most meaty foods will suffice, some hearty ones like Bartletts and Lyretails will eat spectrum pellets, and usually those two require less feedings or can adapt to a once/twice a day feeding schedule.
Some anthias are tougher to keep bright colors and may require a more specialized diet.
