What do i feed them

[lost_snow]

Okay, i jsut got a fox face and a dragonet. I know the foxface is supposed to eat algea, but i havent seen him eat any. Any ideas on what to get to make sure hes eatting. And also, i put tiny shrip in for food for my butterfly and others eat it, do you think my dragonet will eat it, or should i get him some other food?

Dragonettes absolutely need live copepods. If you do not have these in your tank, I would strongly advise you to buy some. This site carries them very cheaply.
For the foxface and other fish, pick up some kelp, mysis shrimp, freeze-dried seaweed, krill, prawn, etc.
Variety is the key in keeping any fish healthy.

had the person bought the fish from here, s/he could have easily spent an extra $35 ($22 after buying 200 pods) and got the shipping for free.
the real problem is that mandarin is going to starve to death
