n00b ?. what does nemo eat

[popimp06]

i just got my 2 year old a lil nemo what do they eat i forgot to ask the yahoo at the lfs

[bkbailes07]

depending on whether it is aquacultured or from the ocean but most will eat mysis and brine shrimp. if it is aquacultured it will also eat flake pretty readily while the wild caught ones may take a while to eat flake. but mysis and vitamin enriched brine shrimp should make up most of its diet

thats what i feed my tang so it will be perfect. whats the best way i got those lil ice cube blocks of mysis and also how frequent

[bkbailes07]

i feed my fish every other day but many feed every day. whichever works for you.

I hope your feeding your tang something other then Mysis.
They need mostly Veggie in there diet.

I feed mine mysis shrimp...and cyclop eeze. He will also eat flakes but I have eliminated flakes due to high nitrates. I feed him every other day till he's full. How often does everyone feed theirs?

Literally any fish food you can imagine, they seem to be willing to eat. Clownfish have gotta be the least picky fish on eating there is...

My clowns will eat anything, they'd probably snack on my finger if I left it in the tank long enough.LOL

That thread has the basics for a food for corals and fish. In general, some variety is probably good.

were supposed to feed the clown fish now as well?

i just feed the bottom of the foodchain ( coral food once a week .. random choice of the food) and the rest of the food chain seems to be doing fine ( including purple tang clown fish and firefish
