A quick google search and you'll see the same brand names over and over. I doubt it's changed that much in the last few years.

I'm a big fan of TDO Chromaboost. Unfortunately the shipping is super expensive ... Number 2 would have to be SA Hatchery Diet. You can buy from bulk reef supply with free shipping.

Pellets for breakfast

Frozen for dinner

 

On weekends they get brunch

 

Does your Clownfish also prefer Mimosa's over Bloody Mary's? I am so glad mine do because they always get too drunk at brunch on Saturday and as a result I get to finish their bottomless drink special!

Well feeding clown is not big problem

But feeding breaks are most important

Minerals, vitamins will keep them in survivor mode

Makes them aggressive

That's nice

They are best with dead insects power

Pure veg are pillets bores them

Sook pillets in coral food juice then introduce in water for your clown

Dead food is best

Dried

There liver and other organs are week keep them on by less lights

Like 8 hours off with break for food

Less food more exercise

Temperature

72 Celsius is nice heaters kill them beware

For those feeding NLS pellets, about how many do your clowns eat at feeding time? Mine are still very young, but I'm having to break the pellets in half in order for them to even try eating them. Even after I break it in half, sometimes the piece is still a little too big and my clowns won't even attempt to eat it. That being said I don't think they eat more than 2 or 3 full pellets in one feeding. I'm trying to balance feeding enough with not having much leftover food...but compared to the way my freshwater fish eat, this just doesn't seem like enough food.

Ha. My little guy used to do this with the NLS pellets that I fed to the bigger clown. I always put some little Hatchery Diets pellets in for him. They're tiny enough for the little ones.

 

I had him 6 months before he could eat those pellets, and he still plays around with them.
