Now after reading this thread I realize people almost create a menu for there fish.... Now my only question is what is the best "menu" for the fish I have and how often do I need to feed them???
above in #14 is a list of foods i give my fish and reccomend highly the pellets are for all species .i personaly dont use brine for anything but you already have it it lacks nutritional value for sw fish.for your angel i reccomend angel formula by ocean nutrition(frozen cubes).your clown will benefit from all of these foods its an omnivore .so for him the plankton and some mysis shrimp.with a tad of brine in the mix till its used up. they will do best being fed at least 2-3 times daily 2 feedings of the pellets morning, midday/afternoon night time i feed pm feeding 10-15 min before lights out each night
pm feeding consist of all frozen prepaired foods mixed together in one cup as discribed above with add vit suppliment also suggested above.you can also add some seaweed selects to the menue as a snack for your foxface periodicly.your new foxface if hes eating well for you now if you nitice him getting stressed(turning colors and hiding) i stopped this effect by giving a small amount of pellets to mine until he became fully adjusted to captive living i litterally fed mine 7-8 times a day in very small amounts while he was in my qt every time he changed colors(that is a sign of stress) or fear you will see this first thing in the morning when the lights come on. i hope this helps good luck
