Small Clown Food

[Hig789]

I recently picked up a pair of fancy ocellaris clowns and one is pretty small. They were feeding on Reef Frenzy at the fish store but I was wanting to feed them dry foods for ease of feeding.

 

I originally bought New Life Spectrum 1mm pellets to feed them it the small clowns mouth isn't big enough to eat those. So then I picked up some Omega .5 garlic marine pellets, they would eat some of it and spit some of it out. And the other day I got some Cobalt CA Mysis flakes as sample and they go nuts for it but the bad thing is is that it's almost a powder and I feel a whole lot gets wasted.

 

Any recommendations on something else that's small I could try or just stick with the CA Mysis?

I fed mine and still do prime reef flake and just grind them into finer particles for small fish,and also formula one pellets by ocean nutrition

I also use prime reef flakes. I have an occelaris in QT right now that is about an inch long. It will eat reef frenzy like there is no tomorrow. I tried the flakes a few times and it goes for those too.

Thank ya. Need to see if I can find some different .5mm pellets since they don't like the Omega stuff that much.

I guess I just need to get a can of the Cobalt Mysis that's not smashed into powder too.

I feed my cyclopeeze, or I rub a pellet apart with my thumb to break it up for them. Mostly cyclopeeze though.

I do the same. My clown is about an inch, and mainly eats cyclopeeze and flakes. Occasionally he eats pellets, but his favorite is cyclopeeze.....

I believe you are talking about the link in the above post. I just picked some up from our LFS. They said every clown they have had went nuts over it. My clowns came from SA so hopefully they will love it too.
