I prefer NLS small pellets, Omega3 infused brine/Spirulina loaded brine, PE mysis, Rod's Food, and Hikari blood worms. I feed all of this with garlic over the top.

I'm a big believer in variety so my foods are usually a mix of the following:

 

NLS Thera a pellets

Cobalt Spirulina pellets(my red scooter loves these)

PE Mysis Shrimp

Cyclopeeze

Limpits Reef Buffet

NutraMar Ova

Reefbreeders FIlter feeder blend

 

And live brine as a treat.

 

Oh and the eel, anemones, and hermit crab get silver sides.

Show off :P

Freeze dried Krill? why Freeze dried and not frozen Renee?

lol @ posting Ghost shrimp.

 

Lets see... For the fish

Ghost shrimp gut loaded with NLS pellets

Fresh seafood (Squid, scallops, clams, shrimp, fish (salmon, cod, scrod, tuna or whatever else I'm eating)

Hikari Jumbo Mysis

Sally's brand Silversides

 

Coral/CUC

PE Mysis cubes

Hikari Enriched Brine shrimp

Cyclopeeze

 

For those feeding silversides, watch your brands - some are actually cyprinids and contain thiaminase. It has been confirmed that Sally's uses Atlantic Silversides which are thiaminase-free.

The vitamins that can be absorbed in freeze dried krill is amazing. It's the Quicker Picker-Upper of the fish food selection. And remember I don't subscribe to the whole krill propaganda. I've been using krill regularly for a couple of years.

All frozen foods are thawed in Zoe and Garlic for 24 hrs. in the fridge before feeding.

 

I want to start feeding some live cultured, but not sure where to start. Seems like brine is the easiest. Any suggestions?

Interesting. Never knew that.

 

Yea I knew you've been trying it here and there. Just cant be a staple right? I currently dont have it in. I barely even feed mysis anymore. I find it much easier to just get seafood from the market and chop it up than deal with flat packs and cutting up silversides.

I know it is not a "component of krill" thing. I've seen lions with lockjaw that have never been fed krill. Explain that for me with the popular krill hypothesis in mind... doesn't fly. The most recent case I've seen was fed a sole diet of Silversides.
