What to feed Green Chromis

[am00re34]

I have a few green chromis and i've seen to feed them flake food. I have been doing that, but they seem to never get enough of it. They dont really eat much of it anyways. they nip at it, but dont get much.
will they eat anything else such as mysis shrimp?

I have 4 Green Chromis in my tank and those little guys will eat everything in sight, Flakes, pellets, and an occasional mysis shrimp treat. In fact, I put the food in there and it is usually gone pretty fast. I could turn around 15 minutes later and do the same thing and they would eat it all up. I have heard others say theirs have voracious appetites as well.

thats how mine are, but i'm afraid they are nipping at it (since they nip at my finger if i let them) and not eating thus overfeeding occurs. do you just feed yours once a day or so like other fish or do they need it more often to prevent picking on each other or other fish?

I have 5 chromis in my 90 gal.... they are sharks.... they see me coming to the tank at feeding time... they clean everything.... the other fishes get the left over.... I'am getting tired of their attitute...

I have two green chromis and they always wait up at the top when I open the lid for feeding time. As soon as I put flake food in they start nipping also. But they are doing good so I guess that they are getting plenty to eat.

I try to feed mine like 3 times a day. I just put in smaller amounts. Seems to work out pretty well. I also have 3 clownfish in the tank and they are usually hungry enough they are right there with the green chromis. As soon as they see me come through the door after work they know its dinner time. I have heard of others who have said if theirs dont get enough food they pick on each other. Mine all seem to get along pretty well. Just an ocasional nip here or there.
