live brine shrimp are nice to start feeding new fish. always aerate the water for the best nutritional value. although i find frozen "prime reef" to work best 4 me.

That thread has a lot of information on a coral and fish food.

There's a subscribe button at the bottom of the page for tagging along.

That's a great link. I have employed basically the same approach. Go to the local grocery store and see what fresh seafood they have available, bought up some small amounts of various things, put all of that, some nori, some cyclopeeze, and a touch of garlic to the mix and whipped it up to a milkshake consistency (adding RO/DI water in small amounts to help with this), then spooned a little into sandwich bags so they could be flattened and thin enough to break off after they are frozen. Small amounts of stuff went a long way. I thaw it in a little tank water and dump into the tank after I loosen it up with a fork. Everything in the tank loves it. Fish go nuts, coral polyps are out...good stuff.

Wow! I'm new to this, so excuse me for asking...but garlic? Really? I had no idea fish were such culinary lovers!

Not something that is absolutely proven, but I had some garlic handy so, what the heck? :cool:

Wow! I will definitely keep this in mind if I ever have a fish that doesnt want to eat!

I wonder if this theory works on bigger fish in the sea...say dolfin, wahoo, sailfish, marlin, etc!?
