Depending on the size of the clowns, I'd choose Omega One Micro Pellets? And then a mix of frozen/live foods - LRS nano, PE/Hikari mysis, black worms, etc.

My tank gets LRS reef frenzy or Nano (nano is just chopped up more)

Hikari brine shrimp

PE mysis

occasionally fish eggs or some type of small food, but the clowns may ignore that one.

I noticed that you all have few different ones for one tank. Is there all in one type of food for the type of livestock that I want to have?

You'd need to see if all your livestock have the same food requirements, then pick a good based on that. Variety is usually best for filling in any nutritional gaps.

I make batches of

1 cube cyclopeeze

3 cubes PE Mysis

3 cubes Hikari mega-marine

2 cubes omega one reef formula

 

Gets divided up into a bunch of tiny containers for around 15 days worth.

 

When I go to feed I'll add in a few NLS pellets to the mix as well.

 

I like these brands so far. SF Bay Mysis is also good. I haven't used a fish food that I don't like/trust.

Lol some of you spoil your fish! I use NLS micro pellets, New Era aegis pellets, and San Fran mysis, also sometimes chop up shrimp very fine

Yeah I just stick all the cubes in a cup with a little bit of tank water, let them thaw a little, then portion out.

 

I usually buy the Mysis and the mega marine and cyclopeeze but someone getting out of the hobby gave me the reef formula otherwise I probably wouldn't use it since I'm not as much of a fan of the gel binder.

If you go to your local asian mart (like HMart) you can get seafood for super cheap. I would make my own batch with squid, clams, oysters, shrimp, seaweed (with nothing added) and white fish throw it in the blender with RO water, blend it up and then mix in flying fish and sweet fish roe. Total cost for supplied: $30 food made? 4 1 gallon freezer bags pounded flat like Rod's. I would break off a piece and thaw it in the fridge with SELCO Boost. Beat that price and quality. I dare ya ;)

 

I would alternate days with PE Mysis and this mix. and fed my rabbitfish her own seaweed daily. This was for my 85 mind you, but I plan on doing the same thing with my nano.

I used to do the same when I lived in a big city that had Asian food stores, I no longer live in a region with Asian food stores, so I stopped making my own as its cost prohibitive and only sea food grocery stores really sell are cooked shrimp and salmon anyhow, they don't sell any squid, clams and the like,.

Omega one flake with garlic

nori

PE mysis

Omega One reef blend

Sanfrancisco Bay:
​Angel/butterfly mix

squid

mussel

NLS 1mm pellets or Hikari S Marine pellets (my fish seem to prefer the Hikari to NLS)

Hikari Mysis with a couple drops of Selcon mixed in.

 

Usually mix it up, pellets in the morning & mysis in the evening or two days pellets then two days mysis just for some variety.

I am thinking to try PE Mysis for firefish and clowns. what's the good pellet size? is 2mm suitable?

 

Do sexy shrimps eat this too?

 

 

 

I'd say .5mm is a suitable size if you're looking to feed both those fish, and they're on the small side.
