Feeding


I have a few feeding questions for some new additions in my tank. I recently added a blue hippo tang, coral beauty angel, lawnmover blenny, and a cintron goby. The tang ate formula 2 flakes just fine but I am wondering what to feed the others. I was thinking of getting a clip to put either lettuce or nori for both the tang and the angel to nibble on since the angel is shy and rarely comes out. What are the right things to feed these fish and in what ways will I be best off trying to get them to eat. Any input would be great.. Thanks!

frozen mysis would be a good bet ! all should eat it . nori as a side for the hippo , and try some hilkari maine -s- pellets , my fish eat these like their candy ! and some other brands of the frozen food stuffs .

i prefer the frozen foods. either blender mush or the small frozen cubes. they tend to break up into all different sizes so they feed all of the critters in the tank. from the small filter feeders to the big fish.

i am lucky that i can put the food in the sump and by the time it hits the display (about a minute later) it is all broken up so that it comes out like crazy and no one fish can grab a large chunk and horde it.
