what do u feed ur clownfish?

[fishy_fishy]

i feed mine Wardley Marin Flakes that i bought at *****... though they dont seem to like it. They mostly peck at it and then leave it to float around.
Any opinions on what to feed them would be nice
edit: they are Ocellaris Clownfish or False Percs.
and why doesnt my signature show

 

[sinner's girl]

mine loves bloodworms and brine shrimp. She doesn't eat much flake food. they would also eat the green algea I feed to the yellow tank awhile back.
None of our sig's show. I heard it was b/c they were too big, but i don't know if that's true

Variety is the key for any fish.
I feed mine:
marine mix, brine shrimp, red plankton, squid, krill, cockle, scallop -all frozen.
Bloodworm and flake food.
Mine don't like anything too chunky - definitley prefer small bits.

or mayb some bloodworms they sound interesting

Mostly Formula 1 and 2 frozen food. Also Marine aquarium flake food, frozen mysis shrimp and squid.

I as well as one of the countries leading clownfish breeders use Formula One Frozen food. It is nicely balanced, and rather cheap. I also use tropic marine flake. Great stuff.

If I am not mistaken, bloodworms are the larval stage of mosquitos. Definitely not something a clownfish is likely to have ever seen. I feed OSI flakes, and frozen marine mix type cubes, Formula One I believe it is. One cube every 4 days with flakes in between does the trick for me.

great ill go pick some of that stuff up
thanx for the heads up on the blood worms... that something i might have regretted

Strange about the bloodworms. The ones I feed are in a "jelly" and the box definitley says ok for marine.

I agree with feeding VARIETY. Fish need a balanced diet that we must provide for them. I feed all my fish a huge variety...I don't feed the same thing two days in a row. Here is a list of the foods I feed:
Frozen -
brine shrimp
blood worms
mysis shrimp
emerald entree
marine cuisine
Pellets -
Kent marine reef carnivore
Kent marine reef herbivore
Flake -
Omega One Marine Flakes
Omega One Veggie Flakes
Ocean Nutrition Marine Flakes
Ocean Nutrition Shrimp Flakes
and Nori (dried seaweed sheets)
