Clown Food

Whats the best food for clowns!!

 

[quarryshark]

My 4 perc clowns eat just about anything I give them, Flake or frozen. Mine are definitely carnivores, they won't touch anything green.
Make sure it is in small pieces if they are juveniles.

is BRINE shrimp cool???

They will appreciate a variety of meaty foods. I feed all my fish blender mush, which feeds everything in the tank.

Reefrunner, sound yummy
Snowdude, you should just pitch the brine...seriously it has no nutritional value.
its Ok for a treat once in a while, but if you feed it long term, your fish may suffer nutritional deficiencies.
Mysis shrimp is much better. San Fransisco Brand or the formula series (1,2,etc) of food are excellent.

Does it have other things in it?

The biggest part of brine shrimp is water and shell, very little protien, also frozen brine is a big source for PO4 in your tank

right-o Thats why i rinse them and thaw them before feeding. But im swithcing to mysis today.
