My clownfish tank is in the process of cycling.

While this is happening I would like to build up a supply of clownfish foods.
I would like to give them a healthy and varied diet.

So far I have purchased Ocean Nutrition Formula Two Marine Pellets in the small pellet size.
Also Hikari's BIO-PUREĀ® BLOOD WORMS. (I believe these are okay for clowns?)

Do you have any other suggestions for food types or food groups.
What else should I be feeding?

Do you have a favourite product or more importantly do your clowns have a favourite product?
What do they love to eat?

with relatively few exceptions, most clowns i've had are complete pigs, so you'll likely have a broad range of options. if it resembles food, there's a decent chance they'll eat it.

cyclopeeze is usually a favorite. several of my fish would eat till they exploded if given the opportunity.

I currently have 3 pairs of clowns (( 3 different tanks )), 2 of them are spawning, here is a list of what I fed them.

Rod's Food (( Red, Blue, and Green labels ))
LifeLine's Herbivore mix
Prime Reef
Angle Formula (( my angels need to eat too. ;) ))
Spectrum Pellets.

I really haven't noticed if they prefer any food over another, they always act like I haven't fed them in days.

PE mysis can fuel spawning.
Spectrum and Cyclopeeze for color.

thank you everyone.

I guess I have some shopping to do.
The tank has been set up for two weeks and has had a small initial cycle.
There is still some waiting to be done.
