Whats the best food for LTA's?

[detroit_fan]

I have been feeding my LTA silversides for years, but was wondering if there is anything more beneficial for them?

Also, how often do you guys feed your lta?

I stopped w/ silvers after a bad exp.
Mysis, raw shrimp, scallop, squid are great alternatives.
Once a week, or even every other week is plenty for spot feed, mysis is picked up on fish feeding.

I feed finely chopped pieces of seafood. Clam, shrimp, squid, scallop, and tuna. I usually throw in some nori, and next time I plan on putting some selcon in my mix. I fill up plastic baggies so they are about 1/2" full when they're laying on their side. When I need to feed, I just break off a chunk and thaw it out in tank water. Everything gets fed with a turkey baster.

The fish, lps, and anemone love the mix.

I feed uncooked, deveined shrimp and krill. I also soak them in garlic and GvH.

I give mine a shot of mysis and brine from a turkey baster once a week.

thanks for the replies everyone.

i think this will be my last batch of silversides. where do you guys get the shrimp, scallops and squid? is there pre-packaged stuff specifically for this at eth LFS or do i need to go to the grocery store?

if the grocery store is the best bet, anything i need to look for? just make sure it's uncooked? i never buy seafood, so i don't even know what avaiable at my local grocery

Your local grocery will probably have em in the seafood section. Make sure they are uncooked.
