I hear they like frozen cube food but don't remember which to buy there are soo many choices toss me a life line and tell me what you buy so I can get some in the morning at the LFS or online ..thanks

Frozen Cyclop-eeze and live black worms have always worked well for me.

Which anthias do you have?

 

[MCCOOL]

I started mine on live baby brine, then moved to frozen baby brine, then adult brine, then mysis. They now eat anything thrown in the tank.

Jacob's suggestions are good choices also.

Yes indeed. I also feed PE + hikari mysis. Minimum of three feedings per day.

 

[iamwrasseman]

with any finicky eaters that need a little help i always use live brine because it replicates what they eat in the wild somewhat and it works great to get them started .

 

[rogerwilco357]

yeah but live is hard to find around here , now what is PE?

 

[rogerwilco357]

so Frozen Cyclop-eeze and live black worms where do you find live blk worms?

 

[iamwrasseman]

PE is a frozen mysis shrimp that is very nutritious and very clean . all my fish eat it with vigor and thats what i feed mine exclusively .

Live Blackworms. I have a blackworm keeper where they live and breed (although not at a self sustaining level). I order about once a month online (in fact another pound arrives tomorrow)
