Back into hobby about 3 months now. Tank is going good. I have two clowns (thriving), 6 line wrasse (thriving, no more mucus sacks when he throws himself into is rock hole), lawnmower (I am worried is not eating enough, looking a little thin, trying cheato, sinking pellets, others) and an entertaining cleanup crew.
Well everyone used to eat good. Not like a haraam frenzy you see videos about but they would eat a couple, split a couple out until about a week ago (mini-mysis, mysis, formula 1 and 2, all frozen all good brands and multiple brands). I just happened to see brine shrimp (I know not healthy at all) coated with spirulina, so green brine shrimp. I tried this out and everyone eats no less than 5x what they used with the female clown inhaling no less than 20 shrimp in a 2 minute seating/swimming.
I slowly place food into the tank with a baster so that the clowns eat, the wrasse swims all over heck to get what the clowns dont and the CuC and shrimps come over and I spot feed a couple of them here and there.
My question is, this food is SO well licked can I stick with it, is the spirulina a good enough additive that they can get what they need form this one food? I know and was roating between the 8 different foods I had as I read that was best. But can I lean on this food that they love. Also, typing this I had the idea I should look for mysis coated in spirulina, becasue even regular brine shrimp not get anything near the reaction this brine with spirulina does. And this has been about 2 weeks now brine coated in spirulina.
I just want to see if I may be hurting them by switching to mainly only the one food? Thank you.
