Found this last week at a new Publix. Really like that it's got some of the more oddball stuff like cuttlefish and octo...

Immune system boost. We started using it years ago in seahorses. There are some studies done on it. Lemme see if any of them are appropriate links.

I feed twice a day, alternating between: angelfish diet, emerald diet, shrimp, squid, formula 1 frozen. Also feed nori sheets daily on top of the usual food. Once in a while they get a treat like clams or musels or silversides.

how does fish and other items need to be prepared? I have a new blue throat that I added and want to give him a variety. as of right now I soak the shrimp in tank water with the zoecon and let it defrost this way and when its done feed the fish with it. correct or no?
its weird being able to say that the fish is actually male instead of not knowing.

I freeze all my food, even the fresh, to avoid parasites.
I thaw it just before I feed it out. I don't add any water in the process. Because I give such a mixed variety of foo I traditionally don't supplement with lipid additive but look more to the vitamin supplements like vitamin B. I'm putting together a side-by-side comparison of food products from government nutritional data. I thought I had it down pat but this data may lead me to change what I feed.
I am totally surprised that Beta Glucan is now in a lot of prepared foods.
I use the pellets you see in the pics because of the carotene that a lot of fish flesh is void of. I just stick them in the flesh before I feed.
I'm making some gel vitamins to feed out as well... a little mixture of things that may be missing. With the nutritional data I'm able to assess a little more what exactly is missing from their diet.
