question about feeding

[azdiver]

I got a pair of clarkii and their about 1.5 in and i wanted to know how often should i feed them and things you recommend feeding them and when feeding frozen food how much of the cube should i use?

Feed them pellets. Just a small pinch a couple times a day. Flakes tend to put to much crap in the water. If you have a good waste export set up the less you have to worry about.

I'd recommend a varied diet, maybe flakes/pellets in the morning and frozen at night. I have 5 smallish fish including 2 clowns and I probably feed the tank about a 1/4 cube a night (half PE mysis, half S.F. Bay Marine Cuisine). In the morning I add a small amount of flakes and pellets.

+1, a good varied diet is important.

I use blue zoo mix. I put my pinky in the tank and then touch the tip of my finger to the blue zoo mix and then put finger back in tank to release food. It is a more consistent way to feed as a pinch can vary greatly. I feed once per day. Also feed mysis occasionally.

Ok thanks for the advice everyone

I feed twice a day I also mix it up but use all frozen. I use mysis formula 2 I believe it's called and then use fish frenzy also
