andrewkw Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I've had my clownfish for more then a week now at first I was feeding marine flakes and he barely tasted them but I do believe he ate a flake or 2. I got freeze dried brine shrimp and plankton yesterday and he also doesn't seem to intrested in them. However once I turned all the powerheads and filter off I could see a lot more tiny tiny white dot pods swimming around. The fish was opening his mouth against the glass where a bunch of them were so i'm guessing he ate some. They are really small though. Is this most likely the reason why he's not eating much? He is active so i'm not too worried and if 3 choices aren't enough for him then i don't know... Link to comment
sheen Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Most carnivorous fish love pods- a natural and nutritious source of food. Try some frozen foods as well such a mysis shrimp and cyclopeeze. Lots of those are vitamin enriched and can add immunity as well as health to your fish. The pods are a good supplement so you don't have to feed as much. Link to comment
kinetic Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 both my ocellaris eat a ton of pods off the glass. I think that's what keeps them so fat... but I do feed 3 times a day =X Link to comment
shaggydoo541 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 They definitely do. Link to comment
SanDiego_NanoReef Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 They definitely do. I have numerous pods swimming in my tank. My clown chases them and eats them too! Link to comment
matty0206 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I was concerned about the amount of pods I had they were everywhere ! Now that I have my clown I dont see them anymore. He hovers over the rocks and eats any he can find! Link to comment
Scott Riemer Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Mine love to watch for them against the black backdrop on the back of the tank and eat them off. They also like the mysis but won't touch the Omega One pellets I bought. Well, actually they put them in their mouth but spit them back out. Link to comment
