flake food question?

[partobe]

Hi Everyone!!
I'm getting ready or like we would say down say fixin to order salt (reef crystals). I was thinking while I was ordering the salt I would pick up some flake food. Right now I have formula 1 and 2 I was wanting to add something a little different. I have 2 tangs and 1 angel 2 clowns 1 girly fire fish bullet goby and a mandarin(mia). Ive heard all of you talk about octopus eggs, What are those? Can I get them in flake? If not what would you recommend?
Thanks
Patrick

I wont use flake food. Too high in phosphates. I recommend making your own food. Its healthier for your fish and the tank........and can be much cheaper.

I dont think it is octopus eggs you are thinking about....its oyster eggs. That is the most expensive thing i use in the food i make......but its more for the corals than the fish.

Thanks Fly! LOL yeh your prob right with the oyster eggs. I'm always off just little when it comes to names LOL. Where can I get oyster eggs? I'm ordering from foster and smith but dont see them in the catalog. I would love something that the corals and fish both would like. I hesitate to order frozen because of the additional shipping.

Thanks funi24
I have the frozen bar and my fish and corals LOVE it. How do you like the freez dried? I heard its not as good because it doesnt sink?

[funi42]

its alright, i have to grab a pinch and submerge it in the water and it sinks just fine, you just cant sprinkle it on the surface or it wont sink
