I am getting a few damsel fish and it says they can all eat flakes or pellets.. When I went to order some there are 20 different kinds. What do I order and how much do I feed them and how often?
WELCOME!!
skip the pellets and flakes, and get your self some frozen food instead LIKEFormula One, 2 , and three or whatever)..feed Once daily, enuff for them to eat it in 1-2minutes ..
Also, since your are getting just some damsels, the frozen food really isnt that detremental, you can get by with pellets found in any marine fish store, SPECTRUM A+ get the small size.
I have had my tank set up for about 3 weeks or so and they suggested starting with Damsels cause they are the hardiest. I have a 75 gal tank with about 80lbs of cured live rock. I have a protien skimmer, filter and two blowers for current. I also have a timed lighting system that goes from daylight to dusk and dawn and moonlight. I been keeping track of the levels for a while now and the nitrate and other levels are perfect. I ordered a test to check Amonia as well. My husband is in charge of all that stuff. We just wanted to start with some snails, crabs and a few hardy fish to see how we are doing.

Maybe some hermit crabs because snails are very sensitive, to any nitrite, amonia and salinity fluctuations
