SRC Member pop Posted November 18, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 18, 2005 Just a 3* 1.5 * 1.5 with IOS behind the tank. So the effective swimming range is (L)3* (W)1* (H)1.5. Actually, my question is the diet or food of the fishes i am intending to keep. Just any types of marine pellets will do or any special diet for them?

SRC Member kraziworm83 Posted November 19, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted November 19, 2005 hermit & shrimps will eat any leftover, they r not fussy.. but my hermit luv pellet...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Maxstar81 Posted November 19, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted November 19, 2005 From personal exp. Hope it helps - hermit crabs (leftovers) - snails (wall cleaner no need food) - Clown fishes (? pellet and/ frozens) - gobies or bennies (gobies eat frozen) - some cleaner shrimp (left over) - chromis (?) - lobster if possible (?) I just throw frozen brine or mysis alternating everyday. They eat it. From gobies, cardinals to cleaners. They like my dried pyro which i throw in for my mushies too.

SRC Member pop Posted November 19, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 19, 2005 Thanks maxstar... I also saw pp feeding their fishes with sea lettuce, brocoli lah.. dry "zi cai".. The lettuce and brocoli, is it from market one? "Zi Cai" (black/purple sea weed)? Must specially brew them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammy Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 i feel that formulae 1 and 2 from ocean nutrition is the best. however maybe u might need to buy frozen mysis and brine to wean them eat first.all my new live stock only eat frozen food. slowly them eat pallet. hee hee Quote 2x1.5x1.5 tank Lighting: AI hydra 52HD Skimmer: Deltec SC 1455 Reactor: Minimax; rowaphos Skimz ; NP biopellets Wave Maker: MP 40 WQD Return pump: Eheim 1262 Chiller: Arctica 1/10 hp A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel -- Proverbs 12:10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
