Question on feeding


Recommended Posts

Before you purchase it, did you ask the lfs owner to test feed for you? Cleaner wrasse can be fed with frozen food, like brine or mysis shrimp. Some eats pellets and flakes as well. It is best if you get one that is feeding, because some reject any form of food and its hard to get them eat in a reef tank.

It's cleaning my grouper and picking on the live rock, but I tried brine shrimp, prawns, fish and pellets still not eating, it doesn't look thin but I better find some suppliment incase there is nothing left in the tank for him to pick. I was thinking small clams (those we eat at seafood rest.) or vegie ? I probably give the small white clam a try or get some cubes of Hikari frozen mysis.
