Hey everyone - I just wanted to say hello and I'm really new at all of this. It's amazing to me how many different LFS tells me to do totally different things so I thought I would try this and get some experienced people's opinions.
We have a 45 gallon tank - it's been up for about 5 weeks now - we did have a 20 gallon tank for 3 months and switched everything over to this one- so far I have a scooter blenny, royal gramma, engineer goby, percula clownfish, 2 damsels, a condylactus anenome and a large fire shrimp. Everybody is doing really good so far - we did have a valentini puffer but I took him back because he was eating all my snails - even my turbo ones. I also had a canary blenny but he died and their giving me another one as soon as they get one in - they said he must have been weak? Anyways my question is - how much do I feed them and how often? One store told me once a day and another told me something different but I've been online trying to figure it out. So far I've been feeding them twice a day. They told me to feed them 1 frozen cube of spirulina brine shrimp each day but by night time they are swimming around like their starving. So I've been cutting that cube in half and feeding them once in the morning and once in the evening. So what do ya'll think? Am I doing it right or wrong? We eventually want to add some anenomes (which we're getting the glass top and a new light) a black & white clownfish, a blue hippo tang, a mimic tang (since I've read that the yellow tangs are sort of mean), and not sure what else. I know we have to do all of this slowly - any suggestions would be great!!
