• Who feeds the fish in what way?

  • Melissa1838

Good day, I suggest we discuss the topic of "feeding" fish in this thread. What types of food do you use, how many times a day do you feed, the pros and cons of the food, etc. Personally, I currently feed once a day in the morning (every other day Omega One and frozen Artemia), sometimes 1-2 times a week Omega One Super Veggie in the evening and algae for the enthusiasts. I also occasionally replace Artemia with a mix like Platax, which includes marine fish, Artemia, shrimp, squid, etc. I used to feed them instead of Artemia, but I noticed that the aquarium couldn't handle the load.

Jason

I feed the fish twice a day. In the morning - Omega flakes, a mix of two types and cyclops. In the evening - frozen food, artemia, and cyclops, I rinse...

Vincent

I feed twice a day: in the morning - dry JBL food, in the evening - frozen artemia, cyclops, and bloodworms. From Friday to Saturday - fasting day. On Sunday and Wednesday mornings - dry food with the vitamin supplement Siche.

I feed the fish twice a day. In winter, I feed them once with Omega, alternating it with Tetra Discus (they love it), and the second feeding is frozen Artemia. On weekends, I give them fresh live bloodworms and daphnia. In autumn, I spoil them with live gobies, large daphnia, and live bearers. I do water changes twice a month, which includes frozen Artemia, cyclops, and zoo-phytoplankton. Twice a month, I give Actinias and Magnifica chopped shrimp and large streptocephalus. For bubble corals, I only use smaller ones. Thursday is my cleaning day; I don’t feed them and do maintenance, etc. However, Helman really loves this day and overeats on various small reef inhabitants that he finds in the rubble.

The rest of the fish have settled down for the fast...

John

In my opinion, this is the most important thing. I have read about this topic multiple times. It is very important for maintaining cleanliness in the aquarium. This includes reducing nitrates, phosphates, and unwanted algae.

It's simply not a noble thing for the elders to worry about trifles.

David2398

I feed once a day in the evenings. I alternate every other day between dry flakes Ocean Nutrition Prime Reef Flake Food and frozen brine shrimp, soaking it in a vitamin supplement beforehand. There are no fasting days.

Samuel6138

If it's not a secret, what vitamin supplement is it?

Leonard

I feed twice a day: in the morning and in the evening with Artemia, once a week dry food Tetra Discus, and once a week a fasting day.

Jacqueline6670

The topic is about marine fish; if you have gone off-topic, please clean up after yourselves to avoid confusing people. If it is indeed about that, then let's get into more detail.

Amy

Did you read the topic carefully? Post No. 4.

Jennifer9100

It's no secret.

Charles5941

I feed them twice a day. In the morning at seven thirty with allowances - raw royal shrimp, artemia (if I can find good ones. Right now, Artemia Gold looks like a dead tubifex with a gutted belly, just garbage. And they are taken very reluctantly. The shrimp couldn't care less - they grab anything that lies around). In the evening at 19 - 20, finely chopped squid, sea fish, hake, notothenia, etc. I tried mussels - it didn't work. There is no dry food. Not because I don't want to - I just don't know which one to choose so I don't get it wrong.

Amanda

Good feed is also frozen streptocephalus, especially the medium size.

Nancy758

It is often sold under the commercial name "Artemia Gold."

Natasha

Next week, the first fish will arrive: a pair of ocellaris clownfish and a dogface puffer. I will feed them once a day, alternating between frozen artemia and cyclops. I've read somewhere that rodactis and parazoanthus can be fed. What do they eat and how many times a week?

Luis3725

How much time do you spend feeding per day/week? Does anyone use automatic feeders when they are away or at all?

Danielle8118

at 9:00 and also at 19:00 for 10-15 minutes

Kevin3579

Nobody gives a damn.

Ryan1989

I only give Nori when there is a lack of macrophytes, and since I cultivate them, Caulerpa, Batriochondria, and Gracilis are better than Nori.

Offtopic Leha the Sea Michurin

Alejandro

I feed once a day in the evening. Frozen Artemia, small liman midge. I "raised" ocellaris from 1 cm on this food. I also fattened Dastillia and Chrysiptera "on the go." During feeding, I observed how parasitic anemones and other corals caught and ate the midges. Sometimes I treat them with medium-sized streptociphus. Anemones love it. I haven't given dry food yet, but I plan to include it in the diet in the future. There is also a lot of "wild" food floating around.

Steven

Max, take the Azov bull, throw it in the freezer, then grate it on a medium grater and go ahead. Eat everything without distinction. It's delicious. By the way, it's nutritious, especially the liver.

Cynthia6578

Can it be included in the cocktail mix? For example: bullhead, squid, fresh shrimp, spirulina... maybe add something else? Freeze it in a block and serve in cubes?

Kevin3579

This would be absolutely perfect. In addition to the above, you can also add ground frozen mussels (with small holes) at 15-20% of the mentioned amount. Freeze it in a block and cut it into cubes. The coloration and growth of the fish will be ensured.

Jessica9188

That's good. I'll do that since I plan a mixed rhyme. And proper nutrition for its residents is very important to me.

Monique1236

I got close, so to speak, to preparing the feed cocktail. The question arose about the quantitative content of the ingredients: Bullhead-?; Squid-?; Shrimp-?; Spirulina-?; and mussels about 15-20%. Maybe it makes sense to add nori? Just not roasted. Or some other vitamins? Let's say if there are already 150g of mussels in 1kg of feed, what would be the amount of the other ingredients? Let's create a recipe here. I'm sure it will be useful to many in the future.

Guy

In this regard, it looks something like this: 25+25+25+25=100%. Without spirulina, this supplement should not be large; sometimes surgeons die because of this. Nori, individual feeding plan for surgeons... Therefore, it should not be included in this formula. Feed according to the feeding rules in the reef, i.e., do not overfeed, one day of unloading.

Diana7891

Maxim, don't forget you don't have a fishery, but a joint reef with minimal fish, and I wouldn't throw that sandwich into my aquarium. Think about it.

Joseph6461

What if we give it "on holidays"? For example, before a day of unloading, once a week and just a little? I understand that you can't go far on just Artemia, liman midge, and streptocarpus. But overfeeding is also not beneficial in any way. We need something vitamin-rich, some complete balanced nutrition, and at the same time, it should be given in very small amounts to avoid any consequences. P.S. There will be as many fish as possible, but without interfering with the invertebrates.

Wesley

Look! This is not plain - Malawi. It's my job to warn you.

Meghan

Here is a good article on feeds. Many experts refer to it.

Julie4738

How will you grind it? It says on all the frozen items: "do not refreeze." I think it's clear why. My surgeons eat ground nettle and dandelion well.

Andrea9320

I sometimes feed the fox and the gopher, as well as the hedgehog diadem, with Ancistrus tablets, you know, the ones made by Aquarius. Recently, the Clarkii has taken to stealing them right from under their noses. The tablet is a bit too big for him, so he grabs it and drags it into his entacmaea. The funniest part is that the entacmaea eats this pressed grass and enjoys it, getting all plump and growing really well.

Emily3144

I ground it in the food processor without thawing, mixed it quickly, and put it in the freezer; during that time, it didn't thaw much.

Kenneth7331

People, are there any reviews about the NewLife USA and Red Sea feeds that TsA sells?
