kimberbee Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 My fish and I didn't really like Rod's food either. I forget which one I tried but the pieces were all over the place for size. some was too small for them, and some was too big. Quote Link to comment

While most of it meets that criteria and the fish love it, every now and then I get a whole monster-mysis that my fish don't know how to handle. The snails do though. 1 Quote Link to comment

My betta or waspfish would make quick work of a whole mysis, they both regularly would grab large chunks of food and stuff them down. 1 Quote Link to comment

teenyreef Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Between my clowns and the CB angel, my yellow watchman goby is by far the smallest fish. But he will eat chunks of food as big as his head that the other won't touch ...and what, pray tell, is coming from LA??? Quote Link to comment

It is also not shy at all. I had put it and all the snails and stuff I got with it into the tank, then decided to scrape the walls and get in the corners and everything I never really get well, and it hid for all of that, but as soon as I had my hand out and stopped cleaning the outside of the glass, it was picking at the rocks and corals already, swimming the whole tank, checking everything out. 9 Quote Link to comment

Yes, they are more overtly corallivores than any other dwarf angelfish, but all of my corals are noxious, so nipping should not be a problem. And even if it was, I don't really care, #worthit 7 Quote Link to comment

This tank is really looking great, I love how balanced the aquascape is. Plus all these amazing fish... wow. 3 Quote Link to comment
