Food change?

[alumentum]

ok, well, the fish market where I lived had to shut down for a few months due to the oil spill and other pollution problems. I was hoping to make a new food mix for them using brine shrimp, chopped table shrimp and nori. I was wondering if I could add some mashed peas or maybe garlic salt to the mix. Would that be any good for them or should I try something else? Maybe add some phytoplankton from filter feeder food and some flake food to the mix?

What's wrong with prepared frozen food like mysis or formulas for your algea eaters?

well I've tried that but when I put one thing in one fish will eat it and the others wont and so on and so forth. The only time I can get ALL of them to eat is if I mix it all up.

I could see that. You are very dedicated...good for your fish.

After what I went through to get them, yeah X /. Anyways, I got a mix in mind and I've made it. I haven't tried it yet. It's pretty much what I've already stated and listed minus the garlic salt. I wasn't sure if it was safe or not. Is this ok?

I would not put any phyto in, and stay away from anything that they do not eat in their natural enviro. But that's imo.
