Ratio of frozen mysis to fish

[oceania]

Hi All!

After wks of cycling, finally have added some fish to my tank. Will be using mixture of frozen mysis, brine (though it has no nutritional value) and pellets for feezing. Would like to know wht's the ratio in terms of frozen cube to the following fish ratio:

- 3 fishes

- 5 fishes

- 8 fishes

- 10 fishes

Does the amt of food fed depend on the spiecies also? In case required, my tank size is 3x2x2 and current LS: wrasse, goby and common clown, 1 each. Other spiecies i have in mind and intend add in the coming wks/mths: barlets, yellow tang and reef safe butterfly.

Additionally if I want to train the fish to eat pellet, would it be better to start with mysis then don't feed followed by pellets or just start off with pellets?

Apologize for the long list of qns? Thanks alot!

assuming all are feeding

1. 1 cube, once a day

2. 1 cube, 2-3 times a day

3. 2 cubes, 2-3 times a day

4. 2 cubes, 3-4 times a day

you can consider added seaweed too

cheers

1 cube of mysis for 3 fishes seems a lot to me imo... unless you don't feed anything else.

My original plan was to train the 3 new occupants on pellets before releasing them into the tank. Unfortunately, the goby and wrasse jail breaked frm the holding area! Ever since the wrasse has hidden itself in the sand bed. Started off with 1 cube + some pellets yest but there was totally no int in pellets! With the wrasse mia-ing and clown not feeding yet, reduced the amt to 1/3 today.

Understand that garlic juice increase the appetite of the fish. How long shld the food be soaked before feeding? Can pellets be soaked too?

Garlic yes will increase the appetite of fish. Can soak but never c people soak pellet before coz I feel that end day they gonna bloated if soak. That's y feeding little at a time is the key thing to prevent them from becoming unfinished food n turn water dirty.

Ha ha ok thanks! Maybe I shall experiment that in the holding tank.

With regards to training the fish on pellets, if the fish is really refusing pellets, how many days is the limit if it's totally not feeding?

As long as you don't feed too much to pollute the system it should be fine. You can try different type of food like pellets, flakes, mysis or nori even. I know some fishes are not known to eat it but almost all m fishes now eat nori, even cleaner wrasse (which is prob the reason why it still survives.)

The best way is to ask LFS to feed and let u see. Then you can get the same food... usually u prob have it already
