coral beauty
I just picked up a beautiful coral...uh beauty! (in my best austin powers impersonation) and i want to know what would be the best diet for the little guy/gal. The LFS was feeding live brine shrimp but i have read that brine isn't the most nutritious food. What do you all feed your angels???
thanks
Mike

Mike I always fed my fish the Ocean Nutrition angel formula cube stuff till I started doing the blender mush. The ON is not to bad if you only have a few small fish, even brine shrimp treated with selcon is not to badd but variety is good

Coral Beauty
I too feed mine mush, seems like the fish really goes after the spirula and nori bits more than the meaty pieces (clam, shrimp, squid, scallops, mysis).

I bought the nori in health food stores though you can get it in some grocery stores. It comes in dried sheets and they're used to make sushi. I'd cut at 2"X 3" square, roll it up and put it on a veggie clip. Gets soggy pretty fast so I wouldn't leave it for more than a day. Just buy the non-flavoured one.
