Hello all, I'm new to this whole saltwater fish thing. I've read up on what I need to do and talked to many a store clerk on getting started. Their information seems to coincide with the book I have read and such.
My question is this: I JUST bought a clownfish today, along with 2 snails and 2 hermit crabs. I have a 29 gallon biocube and it seems to be running well...the lights are good, it's quiet, ok...
Now the petstore clerk told me to feed the clownfish a few flakes once daily, but when I do so it's only a matter of minutes before the flakes get swept into the filtration system....
I don't know what to do and I certainly don't feel comfortable turning the filter off for extended periods of time. I don't even know if the clownfish KNOWS he gets food. Any suggestions??
