Ratvan Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Just now, nano_ryan said: How would I prepare the shrimp for the fish to eat? When still frozen I use a cheese grater (actually a nutmeg grater) to get nice small bits. Add to some RODI to defrost and chuck in the tank, possibly add a bit of Garlic juice if the fish are fussy 1 Quote Link to comment

Add to some RODI to defrost and chuck in the tank, possibly add a bit of Garlic juice if the fish are fussy I feed pellets day-to-day, but I'll feed the nems and bigger LPS whatever we are going to have for dinner whether it's shrimp, tilapia, cod, swordfish, flounder, salmon, etc.. Before defrosting it, I just slice a little chunk off and mince it - about the same size as the pre-minced garlic you get in the asian market since all my fish are bigger. The only thing they don't get is halibut and sea bass because my clowns aren't getting $30/pound fish. I'll give them king crab for Christmas if we get it and I'm feeling festive. 1 Quote Link to comment
ef4life Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Fresh seafood is fine if it’s small enough for small fish to eat. I did try to feed my tanks a little piece of canned tuna once - no fish would touch it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Lypto Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I used a motor and pestle to grind up a bunch of pellet food and some supermarket shrimp, corals loved it and so did the fish. Quote Link to comment
