What do you feed your clownfish?

What do you mainly feed your clownfish? (stable diet)

 

[chrisbenavides]

If you choose other, please recommend your food of choice to us. You can vote for more than one food. THANKS!!!

I forget to mention Hikari Rotifers Frozen Food. Don't know if people choose this only for fry, but I do know that some use it for small mouthed fish.

Formula One Flakes, and Brine Shrimp

 

[liv4speed1]

Formula One Frozen only. I know they pick on life in the rocks and sand for their other food.

 

[DarthBaiter]

I feed dry Cyclop-eeze and Hikari dry brine shrimp and some tetra marine flakes once in awhile.
I voted for mixed dry food as I didn't see dry cyclop-eeze or Hikari dry brine. They go crazy for both.

You know I have been feeding Formula Two all this time instead of One. Is this bad? I originally bought Two for my algae eaters (Tang, blenny), but did not think anything of it. Doesn't Two though have plenty of meaty stuff in it, and is better than One for that reason?

 

[dantodd]

I don't think there is any meat in formula 2. I would suggest either formula 1 which is the meaty formula or prime reef which has a mixture of meat and veggies.

All this time I thought 2 was for veggies. Thanks.

Learned a lot by reading the analysis on the Ocean Nutrition website. I had no idea that the flake, pellet and frozen versions of Formula 1 (and 2) are all so different from each other.

 

[chrisbenavides]

Yeah I just noticed that myself. I thought that the frozen One was the same as the dry One. Same for Two.

[ricordiaking]

A conbination of everything

Everything but the kitchen sink - I figure the more variety, the better. My saddlebacks go nutso for Hikari Marine S pellets, frozen mysis, brine and plankton, but being the little piggies they are, they'll take just about anything
