How to target feed prata?

[MAG]

I understand from some ppl that target feed prata once awhile with market prawn is good for the corals.

I tried target feed using shringe with cyclo+brine+mysis but wonder is there any special technic to target feed with prawn.

Tried once but before the prata got chance to digest my fishes will take it away.

So can anyone share some tips on how to ensure prata swallow the prawn b4fishes take it away.

Also may i know how often should we target feed them?

Thx.

This is the way everyone doing. Fish take away, no choice. You have to stand guard

hi xersion.

well thx for the tips. tried that on sun corals but find it abit difficult to do that on prata cos the diameter for the plastic bottle abit too small for prata and also some pratas sit on rock scape. so not easy to fit the bottle onto the pratas.

furthermore the plastic bottle tends to fload up or when fishes see the meat thet will attack the bottle till it topple.

do you encounter such problems?

may i know how often you feed them with prawns?

wat i do for my pratas is i will feed early in the morning say 6am. my fishes are still in dreamland n the pratas can slowly enjoy their meals.

Stand guard means my hand is always ready to dash in when any fish nearby. So my hands always above the water and my fish always look out on my readiness. My fishes very clever and playful. Even at midnite, when they see me, one come out, all come out. They always check on the corals for food especially after my hands passed by.

I feed them everyday but recently 1 month, I stopped feeding. Lazy.

i will use a long stick to guard it. btw i feed the coral will be nicer and bigger after a few monthly regular feeding of market prawn.

i feed it either 1 or 2 time a week.
