Feeding clowns live food?

[ezhoops]

Since I've acquired my female Clarki I've wondered if she would accept certain types of live food. So I ventured out and picked up what I thought she might eat. I've include some pics of her and her chasing the meal.

So far she's eaten the following live foods:
Live Baby Brine
Live Adult Brine Shrimp
*Most fun to watch Live Ghost Shrimp (gut loaded)

Here is a pic of her she's about 4" or more

Please share any live foods you feed, I would like to add to her live foods list.

Adult clowns do not need any live food in captivity (except for WC maybe, MAYBE, for several days of acclimation to captivity).

You are spoiling her.

And you are looking at introducing parasites with live feed (unless you culture you own BBS and ghost).

You are spoiling her.

I realize that and don't expect to feed her this often. Actually I was planning on having the shrimp be the clean up crew for her QT tank. It just so happened that they became the food.

Your right I know I am risky infection and don't plan to do it often besides I know that if I offer her these foods she will never eat frozen form 1 or anything else again. This also was in part to get her eating response going also. I've only had her for about a week.

BTW the BBS and BS are cultured by me, but not Ghost shrimp
