diet suggestions please!


it seems lately my fish:
coral beauty
green chromis
six-line wrasse
diamond watchman goby
catalnia goby
marron clown
red genereal star
and soon t be dog face puffer ( all in a 60 gallon tank, but all of the fishes are 2 1/2 inches or smaller, even the new dog face)
have not been wantiing to eat all that i have been giving them. The diet started off with only formula 2 frozen, they at that for a couple of weeks then i bought some brine shrimp lus flakes that they still love. Then i bought formula 1 frozen and they liked that for a couple of weeks. i usually try to mix the diet up. I also feed them frozen brine and also bought some omega one flakes but they wont seem to touch that. just wondering what would be a good diet for my fishies? they seems to only realy want to eat the brine shrimp flakes and the frozen brine. today im goign to pick up a dog face puffer and i have some pretty nice live rock, what can i feed him that will help hom resist at picking at the live rock to keep his teeth in check. thanks for the help

I try and mix it up and feed every other day except for the meat eater tank. Our 55g sounds similar to what you have. Try a mix of Formula one and two with a bit of frozen brine shrimp and everyone should be eating. Every third batch gets soaked in Selcon and garlic oil. I avoid flakes altogether as they are supposed to be the nutritional equivalent of Top Ramen.

For our meat eater tank they get a chopped up version of shrimp, scallops, fish, mussels and who knows what meant for human consumption at the asian food store. At four bucks a pound it cannot be beat.

well all these fish are in the same tank! and i tried the mix of formula 1 & 2 did not seem to work to well. maybe im just being paranoid. usually i slice thin slices and soak in garlic and mash it up a little bit. I feed once a day. so when i get the dog face should i feed it once a day also by hand? thats how i usually do the watchman. i feed in a good chunk of brine or mysis close to its face and usually he grabs it right away or sometimes he lets it float arround a couple of times unless the six line gets it.
