What is a good treat for clown fish?

 

[Tmyboy]

Mine love frozen mysis.

 

[Sniperhank]

I have a good number of fish that don't eat flake/pellets. I didn't really notice at first, but when I would throw one of my mysis cubes, everyone takes part in the frenzy. Then if there is any left over or gets caught in the filter/powerhead, I pull it out and feed to my duncans.

Mine prefer brine in garlic to mysis, far less nutritious though.

 

[CleverBs]

In my experience clowns love all food. Mine eat brine,mysis, cyclops and they go crazy over it all. I don't feed flake food however so they always get these 3. I mix them up and feed them all 3 at the same time. They don't seem to pick Anything over anything else.

Ok awesome thanks everyone... On the mysis do u thaw them of give to them frozen?

 

[Kio707]

Thaw before serving...

 

[Leighton79]

Thaw and RINSE in RO, otherwise you will flood your tank in phosphate.

 

[Sniperhank]

I was just throwing them in. Now that i have 2 duncans i thaw in warm water so i can feed them first then throw in alittle at a time til they arent eating anymore.

Rinsing is a must. Don't just that and throw in. Like KIO said, the water they're packed in full of phosphates.

 

[Kio707]

Never rinsed mine. Of course a have a reactor. So I throw them in.

 

[circus clowns]

Mysid shrimp would be the most nutritious for them , definitely

 

[austinsdad]

Not alone. Needs to be fortified/soaked with vitamin and garlic guard.

 

[circus clowns]

And you should give them variety , of course. It Mysid is most nutritionous for them

 

[J19Reynolds]

Oh ok... What about the Lil cubs frozen? Thaw them too right? That's what my LFS said and it goes everywhere

 

[circus clowns]

Yes thaw them.
