Feeding

[BILLYNY]

Just getting into saltwater 50 gall tank with 2 small clowns and 1 small royal gramma basslet. Im feedin with the small frozen brine shrimp cubes. Is like half a cube defrosted in tank wtr one time a day good for this small amount of fish? Also how many fish in this size tank can I keep maybe only around six small ones ? Also what's the normal amount of times to test pH and salt with salt water tanks ?

Half a cube is fine. I would spread it out through the day tho. For a 50 your prob looking at another 3 smaller fish. Fire fish, clown goby, ect.

I’d switch from brine to mysis shrimp, brine have minimal nutritional value.

Actually I typed the wrong thing earlier I am using the Mysis shrimp. The local aquarium guy is helping me a bit on all of this but he said something about using a fork to feed them ...seems a little impossible wihen that half a cube ThawS can't really use a fork I just mix it in another container with a lil tank water and pour a tiny bit in and do that a few times a day.
Thanks for the reply much appreciated

Smash the frozen cubes in a bag and thaw what u want to use. I mix mysis and sprilina brine
