Frogspawn feeding?

[ozman3803]

Was just curious what is the best method to feed these guys? Is mysis shrimp good?

cyclopeeze works.

I also have used cyclpeeze and just recently tried reefroids. I like them both

Sorry, also the method to feed them? Do they grab the food like polyps do? I tried to shot some mysis in there with a baster but they didn't hang on to it..?

Thats pretty typical, sometimes they will sometimes they wont. Either Im trippin or I do notice my frogspawn inflate big time when I feed phyto to the tank.

I recently used reef roids on my frogspawn and have seen good results in just one day.

MY frog spawn will eat anything i squirt onto thier polyps (keep your minds out of the gutter please). Just keep trying and they will get the hang of it. they will only hold onto it however when they are fully extended. How long have you had this guy?

good luck

Just got it Saturday so only a couple days. They seem pretty happy and are well inflated. I guess I'll keep trying and hopefully they latch on.

yeah it just needs to settleif it is not eating in like a month

Well.........that means yur lights are so good that it doesn't need to suppliment its diet. But it should eat soon. That cyclopeez they mentioned works wonders but keep hitting it witth mysis twice a week of so

I've often fed mine small pieces of siversides(about 1/8th inch in diameter). I hold the chunks w/ a set of plastic tongs I purchased at a kitchen supply store. They're kinda like a pair of chop sticks atached at the top. I hold the food in theit tentacles for a few moments and they engulf it just like an anemone. Cycopleez is fool proof though.

TRY FEEDING IT AT 2AM...EVERY 10-14 DAYS.....MINE HAS TRIPLED IN SIZE ALONG WITH MY TORCHES, HAMMERS, AND ELEGANCE.....

What's the signifgance of 2am? I know that my lights shut off at 10 and by 2 all of my frogspawn is closed for business.
