I was just wondering what, and how often you feed your BTAs.

Raw shrimp, once a week. They also catch mysis, etc. during regular feedings. I see it stick to their tentacles and they bring it to their mouths practically every day. Their not shy about eating whatever is available.

Sometimes once a week, sometimes three. I vary it a bit. Almost always Mysis soaked in all the goodies.

Either Krill or Silversides 2-3 times per week.

my big gbta gets a piece of silverslide every three days, and catches and is given alot of mysis and krill almost daily.

My little rbta doesent like mysis at all, and will only eat silverslide so far. it was funny, today she had a choice i fed her the silverslide, and 2 pieces of mysis fell on her, she held the silverslide and the mysis, ate the slide then let go of the mysis.. she's let them go everytime so far.

(only thing i can figure other than she doesent like em, is i soak those in galic and selcon, the ss only gets selcon)

garlic. was a typo. we often feed our fish garlic to clear out internal parasites, keep ick away and its also a food stimulant if they dont eat. selcon is a vitamin, that has alot of huma in it, good for fish and bleached nems

Feed mine raw shrimp once or twice a week. Clowns feed it almost every day with whatever I feed the tank.

I've had a rose for a little over 3 weeks now. The reefer that had her before me (his split three times in the year he's had it) was feeding shrimp, so that's what we've been giving it too.

We feed every couple days (I like to reward her for coming out of the rocks ;)).

Eventually, when I knows she's all the way settled in, I may try other foods with her. I have a crispa in another tank, and it would be nice if they ate the same things :)
