Peat???

[Titus77]

As a Fluval 404 media insert, they have Peat granuals and fiber. They say that it helps the fish reproduce. Is that true for clownfish?

 

[FMarini]

you mean freshwater fish?
peat moss or extracts of mosses, bark etc are primarily found in high concentrations in streams, rivers, ponds, i guess lagoonal areas may have higher than usually plant tannins.
ANyway I've not heard of peat being used for anything but killifish --but who knows

You almost have it, the magic bullet for breeding marine fish does have the same letters in it as Peat, but it is spelt Patience....

Peat is a freshwater trick ONLY as Frank stated.

Saltwater fish require stability, TIME, and frequent high quality feeding.

What do you mean by high quality? 100% Real Angus beef?

You want them to get food that is worth eating. High protein, High Omega, High Vitamin, High Mineral and you want it to be a varied diet because no single food is perfect.

There are also diets that promote certain traits in clowns and their eggs/fry, but that is a discussion for a later time or it can be found by searching this site (look for my name and beef heart).

Can please you make a list of foods that I should use? Thanks.
