Feeding Clowns with Pellet


Recommended Posts

Hi, can anyone tell me how can i feed pellet food to my clowns cos the pellet that I dropped all sunk to the sand bed by the time the clowns realiase...

Apart from pellots and flakes? What other type of food does it take?

I started weaning my clowns and other fish with the small floating type of pellets. I also try flakes and freeze dried brine shrimps. Now my clowns eat almost everything - including fresh chopped prawns & fish.

If your clowns do not eat well, try weaning them with life brine shrimps/artemia. They should love them. If they don't, do check the quality of the water.

Thnx for the various opinions...

Btw, when u guys say freshly chopped shrimps. Does it mean it's those shrimps thats bought from mkt? Or it's those feeder shrimps from LFS? Will freshwater ones do?

Sorry, newbie here.

Can try use "dish" approach. Put the food into the small container, and place it near where the fish usually hanging around. I used a small PVC endcap, but its for my hermit and wrasse :D

Many stated garlic soaked food give a scent that will attract fish.

Thinking of using this approach. I think the whole idea is that once the food drop to the tank bed, they dunno how to pick it.(The hermit crab damm happy.) But still can't figure a good way...

Anyway, now the bigger clown is eating liao. Smaller one still hang around at the same corner. Think not used to the new environment yet...

Thnx everyone... :D

clowns are generally "surface feeders" ie they will try to look for food floating in the water column or at the surface. thus they won't generally peck at food that reaches the sandbed or the rocks.

you might want to confine your new clowns in a small betta box and train them to recognise pellets first before releasing them to the main tank.

Be teachable always, nobody has a monopoly on wisdom. But learn to distinguish "fact" from "opinion".
